Thanks, I had already created a patch to fix the except errors, but then 
decided it was going to be a long haul so stopped there.

I had not heard about 2to3, it worked perfectly and fixed all the syntax 
issues.

I then hit what appeared to be a dependency issue, but totally unrelated 
to Linux, so after patching that out of the sources I now have a working 
package which installs and runs as far as the GUI.

I will add the remaining console error messages in another mail later 
with news of further testing, and my current patches in case they may be 
useful.

Cheers,
Barry
