Problems while installing with Python 3.2

[Mariano Mara]

Hi guys, I'm trying to switch to Python 3 for my new project but I have encountered a couple of problems I'm not sure how to solve.
The main question would be: do you guys have lingua or deformdemo running under Python 3.2? How did you guys solve the errors while installing? (see below the errors I'm getting).

First I checked out the code for deform demo and when I try to install it for develop I get hit by an error with babel:

$ python setup.py develop
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 71, in <module>
    setup(**setupkw)

    retval += ' (%s)' % u', '.join(details)
                            ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

So I went back and tried to install lingua and Babel manually to see if that helped me. Unfortunately I got an error with xlwt (beats me what excel has to do with translations):

TIA for any help you can provide.

babel and lingua are not currently python3 compatible. There's a repository with the necessary patches, but there's no official release yet.

Since these patches have been available since several months, I really wonder why they don't release a python3-friendly version of babel and lingua...

This is what keeps me stuck with python 2.7 with pyramid, and it's annoying... But it is not pyramid's fault.

Thanks for your answer.  I have found https://bitbucket.org/felixschwarz/babel-py3k for babel (although it still has issues). I forked it and I will try to see how many problems I find and I can fix although I'm not sure if this is the most up2date repo for babel. Do you know of another one? If you know where I can find the lingua repo for py3k I would appreciate it.

TIA,
Mariano

I know it and I think it works.

But I consider a pain the fact that babel guys don't release a new version for python3.

I want to be able to install with pip or easy_install, I don't want to have to check that out from git...
