Python 3 Support – problem with installing through PIP

[VincentJGeisler]

Im trying to install this package on arch arm (IMX-233) through pip. there seems to be a dependancy problem in building the package.

Cleaning up...
Command python setup.py egg_info failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip_build_root/smbus-cffi
Storing debug log for failure in /root/.pip/pip.log

any assistance you can give would be awesome.

You mentioned in #9 that the install went ok, what did you do differently?

[VincentJGeisler]

Different version of python. 2.7 installs fine, 3.4 has dependancy problems on install.. both with i2ctools installed.

Using ArchArm current on an IMX233 board.

Python 3 isn't supported yet

[VincentJGeisler]

Well that would explain it :-)

Thanks!
