Pb with python3?

[jydu]

Hi,

Since python2 is now deprecated, homebrew only provides python3. Trying to install pong leads to the following error:

pip3 install pong

Collecting pong

    ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1:

Am I doing something wrong?

Best regards,

PS: I am running the latest Macos System.

I think I got it... I'm not python expert but a bit of googling told me that "execfile" is deprecated in python3. Replacing line 5 in the setup.py file by the following worked for me:

# get __version__
filename = "pong/__init__.py"
with open(filename, "rb") as source_file:
    code = compile(source_file.read(), filename, "exec")
exec(code)

maybe it might prove useful to others...?

All the best,

Julien.

Thanks Julien, we are working on a python3 pong version and will release it soon.

Great! I tried to upgrade the code on the fly but got some JSON error in the end which I could not solve :s looking forward to having this great software running again :)

Hi Julien - here is a candidate release for python3 pong. We'll publish it soon but are still doing some more testing. Meanwhile, feel free to check it out - would love to hear if you're able to run it or encounter any issues!
