Re: [orca-list] Accerciser 1.9.3 Breaks under Python 2.7!!!

[Steve Holmes <steve holmes88 gmail com>]

Sorry for all the messages from me on this accerciser problem but I
think I found all the hard coded references to the wrong version of
python (based on Arch Linux) and have them fixed with in-place edits
in the Arch Linux PKGBUILD script.  If any Arch Linux users wish to
use it, get accerciser (not accerciser-git) from the AUR and it will
work with Python 2.7 now.  I got a trace back in the plugins pane but
don't know anyting about that yet; everything else appears to be
working now.

Note that accerciser-git package in AUR is only good for the newer
DBUS stuff.  I don't think that one can be used with our current CORBA
based environment.
