Created attachment 210239 [details] mc4.8.23_1.diff building and working whith default python
Comment on attachment 210239 [details] mc4.8.23_1.diff Hi basil, Thanks for your patch. This has also been discussed on the FreeBSD forums here: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/midnight-commander-and-python3-support.71407/#post-440925 Looking at the upstream bugs for the 2 mc plugins that depend on python: - #3936 uc1541 - plugin has been fixed for the upcoming mc 4.8.24 release [1] - #3904 s3+ - plugin currently broken anyway [2] Given this, when I update the port to 4.8.24 (after it is released), I will change the dependency to python3. The good news is, it seems the 4.8.24 release might be imminent [3]. I therefore propose we close this bug for now, and wait for the 4.8.24 release. What are your thoughts? Do you agree? Regards, Ben [1] https://midnight-commander.org/ticket/3936 [2] https://midnight-commander.org/ticket/3904 [3] https://mail.gnome.org/archives/mc-devel/2020-January/msg00000.html
Marking this as closed for now - we can re-open it if you disagree. According to mc upstream, python 2.7 is required until the 4.8.24 release (soon).
