Description

Building man pages for libnetpbm fails if the MacPorts default python is python36. 

$ port select --show python
The currently selected version for 'python' is 'python36'.
$ sudo port -vs install libnetpbm

The man pages build successfully when the MacPorts default python is python27.

Thanks, I'll see what I can do.

I thought of a couple of possible approaches to fix the problem.

  1. Make the port depend on python27 and arrange for python27 to run makeman, or
  2. Patch makeman to change raise exc_type, exc_value, exc_traceback to just raise, which automatically re-raises the last exception that was active in the current scope in both Python 2 and Python 3 without the need to specify exc_type, exc_value, exc_traceback.

Thanks!

I reported the problem to the developer, and he says your fix will be in the next series (presumably 10.79).
