Re: [gpsd-dev] [PATCH] Fix SConstruct to work with Python 3

[teyrana]

In Gentoo case #3 is handled by just building twice.  To oversimplify
it:  Once with python2 as default system python, and once with python3
as default system python.  That work for you?

Hhmmm, Could you elaborate a bit? Running `sudo scons udev-install` definitely didn't install the python3 package on any of my test systems. What command-line parameter do you pass to scons to install python3 packages? 

Are you saying to run 

$>  python2 scons install 

-- then -- 

$> python3 scons install

?

That's fine. I'm not trying to force them; the patch I sent in only affects systems with 'python3' already installed.  

1. no python3 => no python3 package

2. python3 packages do not affect python2 packages, afaik

Do I understand you correctly?

Somewaht on-topic.  Python 3 is now 10 years old, and a great many folks
STILL do not want to use it...
