Debian Bug #802354: setup.py AttributeError: can't set attribute

[tillea]

Hi,

setup.py does not work with Python3 any more (but worked in the past):

$ python3.4 setup.py test
running test
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "setup.py", line 56, in
entry_points=''
File "/usr/lib/python3.4/distutils/core.py", line 148, in setup
dist.run_commands()
File "/usr/lib/python3.4/distutils/dist.py", line 955, in run_commands
self.run_command(cmd)
File "/usr/lib/python3.4/distutils/dist.py", line 973, in run_command
cmd_obj.ensure_finalized()
File "/usr/lib/python3.4/distutils/cmd.py", line 107, in ensure_finalized
self.finalize_options()
File "setup.py", line 21, in finalize_options
self.test_args = []
AttributeError: can't set attribute
