This shorter version should still work (untested):

# python2 fix
find . -name Makefile -exec sed 's|python|python2|g;s|--format=python2|--format=python|g' {} \;
find . -name \*.py -exec sed 's|/env python|/env python2|g;s|/bin/python|/bin/python2|g' {} \;

Hey marlock I was looking at the Exaile 0.3.x PKGBUILD and it lead me to realise that many of the plug-ins probably aren't working with my previous package fix and that there's a better way to do it. I also updated exaile-launcher.patch to point to current library paths. New package:

You're welcome :)

good job!!! =)

thank you so much!

ok that was easier than i thought it would be, here's the package fixed:
http://www.paradoxcomputers.com.au/arch/packages/exaile-old/

It compiled fine for me using python2 (rather than the 'default' python, being python3) (I achieved this by temporarily changing my /usr/bin/python symlink to go to python2 instead of python3.
Is there some way to, during the package build, make any calls for "python" not use the /usr/bin/python symlink (which links to python3) and instead use /usr/bin/python2 ?
Or maybe (this is very much a wild guess, I'm not a capable coder, let alone a python coder) a patch to change all occurrences of "python" in the Makefile to instead be python2?
Obviously python2 would need to be added to both makedepends and depends.

Considering Exaile 0.3.x has always and still does now randomly crash for me, as soon as i have some time i'll look deep into fixing the PKGBUILD so it still works out of the box, unless you beat me to it.

it doesn't compile anymore... other python issues
it is starting to be a bit complicated

any suggestions?

I hadn't pacman -Su 'd in a couple of months, I did today and now to build the package I have to change my /usr/bin/python symlink to point to python2 rather than python3, and then unless I want to leave my system like that, I have to change the /usr/bin/exaile script to launch with 'python2' not 'python'.
