Running into old Bug in Python3.2.3 - Workaround?

[kereberos]

Hi

I've to deploy a django app in which i create som reports usng relatorio. When creating a report, i run into this Bug:
http://bugs.python.org/issue16012

Date: Mon, 25 Mar 2013
Found in version python3.2/3.2.3-7
Fixed in version python3.2/3.2.4-1

Since this Bug is fixed for over a year, i wonder why this patch did not make it's way to stable yet.

I cannot find a backport for this package and i am therefore looking for a workaround. The Server i use is Hostet by OVH with Debain 7 Weezy installed.

Any sugestions on how i could get this to work without the need to change the operating system? Could i maybe install the Debian Sid Package?

EDIT:
I managed to get it to work by editing the python file issuing False as default parameter. This is a hack and could cause other problems. It works for know, but a real solution is still very welcome.

What is stopping you from downloading and installing Python 3.4.2 from python.org?

I forgot to mention, that if you want to be on a very very very safe side, install the latest version of python and use

Code: Select all

virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python{your version}

to tell the script/app/etc to run with a particular version of python.
