It's correct that Arch is an advanced user distribution but
you can't expect everyone to workaround each py application. Not everyone
that use Arch are developers.
the thread seems to be more focused on _developers_, and my response
reflects this sentiment.
i wouldn't expect any user to fix<insert> application, even myself.
what i would expect however, is that they can figure out how to run it
under python2.

C Anthony,
That does seem to be where some of us are stuck... I can change the
#!/usr/bin/python to #!/usr/bin/python2 no sweat, but then when the apps throw
further module errors, that is where I get stuck. For example in
/usr/share/createrepo/genpkgmetadata.py, running the script with python2 as the
executable results in the following error:
01:32 nirvana:/home/backup/rpms> sudo ./data/updt-sign-repo.sh openSUSE_11.0/
sqlite metadata tables found --> updating
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/createrepo/genpkgmetadata.py", line 29, in<module>
import createrepo
ImportError: No module named createrepo
So for some reason the change has caused python2 to lose all its modules and I
know not how to make the find them again :(
Have you rebuild whatever package provides "createrepo" to have its
modules available for python-2.7? They are probably still sitting in a
python-26 directory... This would have happened with or without the
python3 transition.
