python and miro

I use miro-git from AUR, and after python upgrade it stopped working. I used makepkg but it didn't help.
So I installed stable miro from [extra] but this version won't support my movies database - so I can't even see user interface now.
How to fix AUR build to use Python properly?

Re: python and miro

if you take a look at http://repos.archlinux.org/wsvn/package … k/PKGBUILD and apply the same modification to miro-git it should work

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Re: python and miro

You should add a comment to the AUR page asking them to update for the Great Python Transition, both the PKGBUILD and the miro script changes. We'll get thru these fixes one package at a time

In the meantime, you can just edit the /usr/bin/miro script to use python2 instead of python.
