syspath_override not on path after fresh pip install

[FrITA]

I just installed Pootle in a virtual environment in Debian 8 and this happens:

user@computer ... $ venv/bin/pootle -version
...
  File "/home/user/test_pootle2/venv/lib/python3.4/site-packages/pootle/runner.py", line 27, in <module>
    import syspath_override
ImportError: No module named 'syspath_override'

syspath_override is present but it isn't on the path.

Pootle:
Pootle 2.6.0 (Django 1.6.11, Translate Toolkit 1.13.0)

Python:
Python 3.4.3 (default, May 3 2015, 15:16:07)
[GCC 4.9.2] on linux

pip:
pip 7.1.0 from /home/user/pootle/venv/lib/python3.4/site-packages (python 3.4)

However, this bug is really easy to fix by changing import syspath_override to from pootle import syspath_override in runner.py

It looks like that line is the same in 2.7 and 2.6.0.

As an aside; Does anyone else think the syspath_override functionality should be in __init__?

Latest stable version of Pootle is 2.5.1.3. You should use that for production. Follow the instructions in http://docs.translatehouse.org/projects/pootle/en/stable-2.5.1/server/installation.html to ensure you don't have any problem.

Besides that Pootle does not support Python 3.

As @unho says these are unsupported versions of Pootle/Python (2.6.0 is a transitional release). Besides that we have plans to get rid of syspath_override in #3608, so closing.

I'm more interested in pootle for hacking/personal use.
Is it clearly documented somewhere that there is no Python 3 support?
A search on PyPi leads here, https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Pootle/2.5.1.2, but the link is broken.
Aside from that; are there any plans to port pootle and translate-toolkit to Python 3?

[jleclanche]

@FrITA translate-toolkit has the works of Python 3 compatibility in it. It's an ongoing project which had to take a backseat to other developments recently. Since Pootle depends on translate-toolkit currently, Pootle won't be compatible with Python 3 before TTK is.

Please feel free to contribute Python 3 fixes.

[FrITA]

That makes sense. There's some interesting stuff in TKK, maybe I'll spend some time this weekend hacking.

Translate-Toolkit is now Python 3-compatible, any news on this ?

[dwaynebailey]

@tcitworld any PRs ;)

translate-toolkit has one bug we want to close before and official release with Python 3 compatibility.

All of our deps are now py3 compatible.

There are no current plans to support Python 3, we we have enough on our plate. But we'd welcome any PRs. If you want to look at this my thoughts are that we won't support both versions. We'd just support Python 3.

I have Pootle 2.7.6 installaed but still getting the same error in Python 3.5

[unho]

Pootle doesn't support Python 3 yet.

I still get the same error with python3.8.2
