[SOLVED] Weechat python broken

Weechat builds in community-testing and community both seem to be built against an old version of python, preventing python plugins from loading.

There's also some weirdness in versioning.  In community-testing weechat claims to be version 2.9-3.0 built on 2nd Dec, but in community non-testing it claims to be version 3.0-1.0 built on 15th Nov.  I normally use the testing repos so was on 2.9 when python updated and broke the plugin (Error: unable to load plugin "/usr/lib/weechat/plugins/python.so": libpython3.8.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory), and then noticed that community had an apparently newer build, so downloaded and installed that, but it turns out to claim that it was built earlier.

It still works for IRC, but unfortunately during the week I need a python plugin for my communications.  I'll just mention that prior to this python outage, the tool was reporting that lua plugins were broken for similar reasons, but since I don't need to use any lua plugins, I let that one slide.

I'd expect a rebuilt against the current environment to fix this, although I'm not sure what's happened to let stable contain a higher version number than testing, so I'm not sure what the best approach is for that.  Maybe just build the 3.0 codebase and put in in community-testing, and I can test that over the next few days.

Re: [SOLVED] Weechat python broken

python had some issues building correctly, lately. I'll trigger a new build of weechat - let's see, which version gets built :-/

Re: [SOLVED] Weechat python broken

it appears, that weechat 3.0 was in arch's [community] git for some time, before being replaced by weechat 2.9

Re: [SOLVED] Weechat python broken

I'm currently running the weechat 3.0 build from communty (non-testing) and it seems to be working over IRC at the very least.

But I don't experience a significant change in behaviour for me between 2.9 and 3.0.  The release notes are here.

Re: [SOLVED] Weechat python broken

The new build of 2.9 (presumably from staging) works with my installed version of python.  It does moan about a couple of options I have in my config files that I don't recall setting myself, but it works so the issue listed here is fixed for me now.
