[pkg-wicd-maint] Bug#941210: python3 syntax error launching wicd-client.py.

[jerome_253 at yahoo.fr]

Package: wicd-gtk
Version: 1.7.4+tb2-6

Hello,

* when I launch the wicd-client command from a terminal, with /usr/bin/python linked
to python3.7, I get the message:


 File "/usr/share/wicd/gtk/wicd-client.py", line 83
    print 'Unable to load tray icon: Missing both egg.trayicon and ' + \
                                                                   ^
SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'. Did you mean print('Unable to load tray icon: Missing both egg.trayicon and ' + \)?


* When /usr/bin/python is linked to python2.7, there is no error.

It appears that wicd-client.py contains many print statement without
parentheses, which causes the error.

I would suggest introduction parentheses for print statements: it
wouldn't break the script with python2, whereas no parentheses causes an
error with python3.

I'm using Debian 10,

kernel: Linux myhost 4.19.0-6-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.67-2 (2019-08-28) x86_64 GNU/Linux
Shared C library: libc6 2.28-10



Thank you  !
