Can i build this with python3-nautilus instead of python2 ?

[aduzsardi]

When i install it on a ubuntu 20.04, it also installs python2 , python2-nautilus and some other python2 packages. Can i instead use python3 packages ?

[aduzsardi]

I managed to install it manually by copying the the nautilus-extension/folder-color.py to /usr/share/nautilus-python/extensions/ and installed Yaru-Colors

Hi! Those packages are required by Nautilus, not by Folder Color. Best regards

[aduzsardi]

actually folder-color depends on python-nautilus , and in turn python-nautilus depends on libpython2.7

not sure if you can do and if else dependency management with debian packages to check if you are using python2 use python-nautilus as a dependency , and if you are uing python3 (ubuntu focal by default) use python3-nautilus as a dependency, or just create a separate package

it turns out, you can do kind of an or

Hi, Honestly, IMHO the folder-color package is good. It's a Nautilus package issue, it should not require the python 2 (obsoleted). Best regards.

the problem is here -> https://github.com/costales/folder-color/blob/master/debian/control#L13 there's no python2-nautilus (at least not on debian/ubuntu) , all python2 packages start with python- and all python3 packages start with python3- even if it's de default python version, so requiring python-nautilus , it actually requires python2

i don't expect you to change anything , i was able to install it just fine manually it works well (thanks btw) , just wanted to let you know of the behavior

Hi, Thanks, I think you are right. I'll update the package. Thanks Alex!
