I installed the client175 .ipfire package onto a Core Update 159 VM machine on my testbed. I was able to get the webgui page shown but I also could not get the program to start. In the /var/log/client175 file there were error messages related to server.py and a couple of modules from cherrypy.

These are the error messages:-

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/srv/client175/server.py", line 23, in <module>
     import cherrypy, json, os, pwd, urllib.request, urllib.parse, urllib.error, urllib.request, urllib.error, urllib.parse, sys
   File "/srv/client175/cherrypy/__init__.py", line 156, in <module>
     from cherrypy._cperror import HTTPError, HTTPRedirect, InternalRedirect
   File "/srv/client175/cherrypy/_cperror.py", line 3, in <module>
     from cgi import escape as _escape
ImportError: cannot import name 'escape' from 'cgi' (/usr/lib/python3.8/cgi.py)

It wouldn't surprise me if even if these messages were solved there might be further erros in other modules. It looks to me like the client175 python modules are not easily converted by 2to3.

I suspect that if client175 is to stay in IPFire then python2 will need to stay to be able to run the existing python2 modules. python2 could be built as an addon dependency so that it is only installed if client175 is selected.


Regards,

Adolf.
