[Python-modules-team] Bug#788561: python3-memcache not Python 3 compatible

[Claude Paroz]

Package: python3-memcache
Version: 1.53+2014.06.08.git.918e88c496-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

The Python 3 version of python-memcached in Jessie is unfortunately
not Python 3 compatible, as it refers to the "long" type which does
not exist any more in Python 3.

See traceback:
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/memcache.py", line 651, in set
    return self._set("set", key, val, time, min_compress_len)
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/memcache.py", line 929, in _set
    return _unsafe_set()
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/memcache.py", line 902, in _unsafe_set
    store_info = self._val_to_store_info(val, min_compress_len)
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/memcache.py", line 856, in _val_to_store_info
    elif isinstance(val, long):
NameError: name 'long' is not defined
