Python3.x build fails about urwid HOT 7 CLOSED

Did you try installing setuptools?

from urwid.

On python3.2? it has distribute by default, why would I bother?

But this is besides the point, your checking system for deciding if the installer in running in 2.x or 3.x is clearly broken.

from urwid.

Could you elaborate on "clearly broken"? It has been working for years. Maybe you have a suggestion for a way to change how it works?

from urwid.

This error shouldn't be being raise when I'm using python 3.x.
Line 31:

      if PYTHON3:

Should be:

      if not PYTHON3:

Perhaps it's because you have setuptools in your 3.x install that you missed this.

from urwid.

No, that code is correct. setuptools/distribute is required for installing with python 3.

I don't use Python 3 regularly, has the name of setuptools/distribute changed? My understanding was distribute has been merged back in to setuptools, and it was always imported as "setuptools"

Five seconds I might be acting a dick, I might have not checked my facts properly, I need to double check something.

from urwid.

My Apologies, it turns out I was acting like a dick.
