RE: cvs2svn 2.4.0 does not work for me

Hello,


To inform you that I tried the CPython (v 3.3.0) implementation instead of Pypy, and In got this error:



c:\msys\1.0\local\projects\svnhtml-to-texi-dump>"c:\Program Files\Python 3.3.0\python.exe" c:\Programme\CollabNet\cvs2svn-2.4.0\cvs2svn  --use-cvs --cvs=c:\Programme\NGNU\CVS\cvs.exe --dumpfile=.\html-to-texi.dump d:/msys/1.0/local/cvsroot/html-to-texi 
  File "c:\Programme\CollabNet\cvs2svn-2.4.0\cvs2svn", line 71
    except FatalException, e:
                         ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax





This means that cvs2svn v2.4.0 needs an older version of CPython to work, as CPython v3.3.0 seems to be too severe on syntaxe (maybe CPython has some command line option to make it more lenient ...)


Anyway, I am a bit at the end of my wits: on the one hand I can download the latest trunk with SVN --- and probably not with GIT either because the error is due to an MSWindows limitation on filenames that I would also have with GIT --- and on the other hand the cvs2svn latest release v2.4.0 does not work with Python implementation such as PyPy or CPython v3.3.0 ...


Any help is welcome --- for instance just tell me the version of CPython with which cvs2svn 2.4.0 can work.


   Vincent.
