[SOLVED] pypanel-gaps fails to build on syntax error

i'm trying to install pypanel-gaps from the aur with yaourt, but i can't build it because of a syntax error in the file setup.py:

...
==> Building and installing package
==> Making package: pypanel-gaps 2.4-1 (Tue Jun 21 00:59:48 CEST 2011)
==> Checking runtime dependencies...

    print "\nPyPanel requires the Python X library -"
                                                    ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
    Aborting...
==> ERROR: Makepkg was unable to build pypanel-gaps.
==> Restart building pypanel-gaps ? [y/N]
==> -------------------------------------

...

is this considered a bug? is there a way to edit this file in order to fix the syntax error, when using yaourt? i have these versions of python installed: 2, 2.7, 3, 3.2.

Re: [SOLVED] pypanel-gaps fails to build on syntax error

Most probably pypanel is a python 2 application. Replace 'python' with 'python2' in both the depends array and within the build function in the PKGBUILD.
