call of 'virtualenv' with option 'p=python3' syntactically wrong

Dear Maintainers, after pulling revision 5448704355e03a97d2838e1ba30272db335f0dbb I have built inkscape according to https://inkscape.org/develop/getting-started/ Trying to manage extensions (Extensions -> Manage Extensions) I receive the following error message: There has been a problem creating the python environment: Return Code: 3: b'' b'The path =python3 (from --python==python3) does not exist\n' args: ['/usr/bin/virtualenv', '-p=python3', '/home/xx/.config/inkscape/extensions'] Indeed the call is syntactically wrong. Instead of '-p=python3' the option '-p python3' ### without equal sign should be used. As far as I understand, the problem seems to exist in inkscape/share/extensions/extension-manager-bootstrap.py:69 call('virtualenv', TARGET_DIR, p='python3') which then in inkex/command.py:to_args() is evaluated to the wrong sytnax. According to the (very good) comments in to_args() :Keyword Arguments: * *name* (``str``) -- Becomes ``--name="val"`` ... * *n* (``str``) -- Becomes ``-n=val`` ... it should become ``-n val``. I do not know whether a change would result in problems using other programs that want -n=val. Which should that be?

The win32 build, which was broken for the weekend, is working again. I just made a "manual autobuild" again, so that we can see how it looks on Windows: http://troi.titan-aeu.com/~rjamison/inkscape/builds/ Bob

Dear Developers, Very quiet set of weeks, there was no notes from last week's developer meeting. This week with have a couple of updates. Attending: Marc, Tav, René, Martin, Adam Event: https://inkscape.org/cals/event/1/ # MacOS Pipeline A much quicker pipeline has been comitted and will reduce the number of minutes used in our development as well as speeding up the result. # macOS Re-Release René is going to re-publish the 1.3 macOS release for macOS for back2wards compatability for High Seira. Related to the python extensions when using an old version of macOS. # Bug Fixing Martin has been fixing issues with 1.3.1, hit on a problem with the bleed and margins that needed more attention to correct some data problems with unit handling. # Gtk4 Tav thinks we're coming to the end of the prep work for Gtk4, event handling specifically and we can not start planning for Gtk4 switch over. Best Regards, Martin Owens
