<vanila> how do i make python refer to python2?
<Earnestly> vanila: You don't
<Earnestly> vanila: You fix the scripts instead
<vanila> Earnestly, google arent taking any patches from me
<Earnestly> vanila: So?
<Earnestly> !give vanila xyproblem
<phrik> vanila: Tell us what you're REALLY trying to do. http://mywiki.wooledge.org/XyProblem
<vanila> how do i make python refer to python2?
<vanila> youre the xy problem
<teraflop> yumbox: yes vanila
<vanila> Earnestly, fixing the scrips is bad advice btw
<Earnestly> vanila: No it's not
<vanila> wrong
<Earnestly> vanila: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0394/
<sudokode> PEP 1394 -- Implementing firewire support in python
<vanila> Earnestly, if you edit the scripts the rest of the build process cannot continue
<Earnestly> vanila: Uhuh.
<teraflop> vanila: ^
teraflop!*@* added to ignore list.
<Earnestly> vanila: To be fair, although you're wrong, google's build systems are totally fucky, and in those cases you have to use some horrible hacks to make it happy
<vanila> Earnestly, youre wrong
<bougyman> doesn't google use mostly buildbot?
<bougyman> I know they contribute a lot to it.
<Earnestly> bougyman: Their build scripts almost literally do system("python lolwesuck")
<keenerd> vanila: What are you trying to build/package?
<vanila> keenerd, blink
<dav1d> vanila: what is the issue python beeing python3?
<vanila> ther code is written in python2
<dav1d> vanila: if so, make a python symlinkt to python2 and put it to the front of your $PATH
<Earnestly> blink is?
<lyonsb> python2-mako?
<Earnestly> the SIP client?
<vanila> dav1d, yeah thats what I did, thanks though
<bougyman> you can't speak in generalisms and expect solutions.
<keenerd> dav1d: Horrible bad advice.
<Earnestly> dav1d: Stop it
<dav1d> vanila: had to do this for several things, I think CEF e.g.
<vanila> keenerd, dav1d is right
<dav1d> of course it's horrible, but the easiest thing to do
<keenerd> vanila: No, you are quite incorrect.
<bougyman> yumbox: what environment are you using?
<vanila> keenerd, no
<dav1d> virtualenv could also work
<Earnestly> keenerd: It's not worth it. He just wanted an idiot like dav1d to tell him what he wanted to hear. Don't bother
<keenerd> Earnestly: Oh, I know.
<vanila> Earnestly, youre being abusive
<dav1d> Earnestly: what's wrong with you lately, I remember awesome conversations with you, the last days all I hear from you is salt :(
<Earnestly> keenerd: If it's the SIP client, you'd just set python2 via the setup.py and it'd be fine.
<dav1d> Earnestly: you wanna talk?
<Earnestly> dav1d: Because you're constantly giving dangerous or stupid suggestions lately
<Earnestly> dav1d: Please stop
<vanila> I dont think Earnestly can handle being wrong
<keenerd> Earnestly: He said it was chromium's blink.
<vanila> but everyone makes mistakes
<vanila> so theres no reason to start bullying people
<dav1d> Earnestly: you gave up on gl?
<Earnestly> keenerd: Yeah, their build systems essentially call python via system()
<Earnestly> keenerd: So working around google stupidity is going to involve lots of hacks
<Earnestly> vanila: Dude, do as you please, I stopped caring when all you could ever say was "no youre wrong".
<keenerd> Earnestly: By the way, if you want to see something horrific just look at the chromium pkgbuild.
<vanila> Earnestly, youre talking about yourself mate
<vanila> <Earnestly> vanila: No it's not
<vanila> <Earnestly> vanila: Uhuh.
<vanila> give it up
<Earnestly> vanila: You're dead set on how something should be to the point where any suggestions are outside the scope of thought
<vanila> no idea what that even means
<vanila> what you originall said "fix the scripts" was wrong
<keenerd> vanila: It means you refuse to listen to reason.
<vanila> deal with it
<vanila> keenerd, <keenerd> vanila: No, you are quite incorrect. -- this isnt reason
<Earnestly> keenerd: Yeah, it's scary
<Earnestly> demize: Would you mind? :/
<vanila> if you actually said something with reason in it id be very interested
<d_garbage> vanila, why not just move on?
<keenerd> vanila: It was covered in the PEP link.
* ChanServ gives channel operator status to demize
* You have been kicked from #archlinux by demize (Here's your reason: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0394/)
<vanila> hey
<vanila> why was I the one that got kicked?
<demize> Because you're the one who isn't listening to reasons and then claiming that there wasn't any.
<vanila> did you read the chat?
<demize> I did.
<demize> Did you?
<vanila> I dont think you read or understood what was going on, you just jump when Earnestly snaps his fingers
<demize> Please take a break and calm down, you're starting to embarrass yourself.
<vanila> I dont feel embarrassed, disappointed that you'd stick up for the bullying those people were doing
<demize> They were bullying no-one.
<vanila> they were
<vanila> youd see this if youd read the chat
