Re: [Docutils-users] Bug(?) report: building doc fails, tests fail

Hi, Günter, thanks for answering - Grüß Gott übrigens :-)

Lets see what it is. Currently the only patch i could provide is:
'it seems to work well with Python 3 under XP, but the doc can not be compiled
due to a encoding error and the tests fail with 15 Errors, reason may be
partially wrong conversion to py3'.

> Also, testing under windows is impossible for me.

And i can not install old (too complex) or new (too hungry) Linux on my
512 MB RAM Laptop.

Yes. after a build there are two suites, one is (or looks like) python3 code
(eg print-functions) and the other is not. i tested the py3 suite in the
build/lib/test directory (more than once). it throws 15 errors.
i also now tested the py2.5 suite with py2.5 (have that installed too but it is
not on PATH) it works, no errors. then i testet the py2.5 suite with py3.
it (obviously) gives a syntax error (print statement). I also testet building
the doc under python 2.5 which worked without errors.

conclusion: it is the 2to3-tool.

greetings, nils
