Installation error (Python 3)

[microamp]

Hello.

It's likely that it's not supported in Python 3, but...

[microamp@arch ~]$ pip --version
pip 1.5.6 from /usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages (python 3.4)

[microamp@arch ~]$ sudo pip install doga
Downloading/unpacking doga

  Running setup.py (path:/tmp/pip_build_root/doga/setup.py) egg_info for package doga

    SyntaxError: invalid syntax

It says "Successfully installed doga" despite of the syntax error above. When I reinstall it, I get the following output.

[microamp@arch ~]$ sudo pip install doga
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): doga in /usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): npyscreen>=4.4.1 in /usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages (from doga)

I get the same syntax error when I attempt to run it.

[microamp@arch ~]$ sudo doga

I had a brief look at the 'setup.py', but there are no Python versions supported specified in there?

Hey @microamp,

looks like the error is related to socket library functions in python3.
see here, it is unable to create a raw socket.

actually I never tried python3 on myself, so didn't wrote Doga keeping python3 in mind.

I'll try to find a fix for this and version compatibility.
you are free to help for it and work on this fix.

@pravj,

I think it's good to have versions supported specified in 'setup.py' for the time being, and some form of version restriction in there too. See this for instance.

I'll see if it's trivial to make it compatible with Python 3.
