>Description:
Runtime of net/straw is BROKEN when using with python 2.6:
[mrk@smeshariki2 ~]> straw
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/straw", line 137, in <module>
sdir = find_straw_lib()
File "/usr/local/bin/straw", line 57, in find_straw_lib
raise "FileNotFoundError", "couldn't find straw library dir"
TypeError: exceptions must be old-style classes or derived from BaseException, not str
In python2.6 exceptions cannot be a strings anymore.
This can be easy fixed, but i believe there is no real reason to do so.
Because our mainline python version in ports is 2.6 i suggest to start process of deprecation and removing this port from the tree. Last release was produced at May 14th 2007 [1] and project seems dead. User can be suggested to use more fast and modern replacement - net/liferea instead.
