Hi everybody,

on FreeBSD the default for python has just changed from python2 to python3.

Now I'm getting these errors when using automx:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
 mod_wsgi (pid=22146, process='', application='server.dom.ain|/mobileconfig'): Failed to parse Python script file '/usr/local/share/automx/automx_wsgi.py'.
 mod_wsgi (pid=22146): Exception occurred processing WSGI script '/usr/local/share/automx/automx_wsgi.py'.
   File "/usr/local/share/automx/automx_wsgi.py", line 57
     except Exception, e:
                     ^
 SyntaxError: invalid syntax
----------------------------------------------------------------------

So I think automx is not ready for python3.

Any chance that automx will get support for python3?

With python2 the software works really great and we are really happy
for it.

Thanks and greetings


Willi

I recently had to change my wsgi plugin Apache plugin to the Python3
variant to run another Python webservice.

Because of the reason above I switched from 0.10.2 to master and
reinstalled with Python3 dependencies.

I haven't seen that issue and from my preliminary tests everything seems
to work on Python 3.6.
