SyntaxWarning on bad equality check

I made a patch.
It's attached.

The attachment "s3cmd.patch" seems to be a patch. If it isn't, please remove the "patch" flag from the attachment, remove the "patch" tag, and if you are a member of the ~ubuntu-reviewers, unsubscribe the team.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

This is potentially especially annoying to me, because I have backups that use s3cmd that run under cron, with the expectation that they emit nothing when the backups go ok. Spewing these warnings could potentially spam my inbox daily.

Any news on fixing this? It's really annoying.

Just got bit by this myself.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, I am closing it because the bug has been fixed in the latest development version of Ubuntu.

@Kai This is still SRUable for Focal I believe.

Debdiff attached for Focal with the nitpicked patch from Upstream git.

This is also uploaded to Focal Proposed as well right now.

Hello Giovanni, or anyone else affected,

Accepted s3cmd into focal-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/s3cmd/2.0.2-1ubuntu1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-focal to verification-done-focal. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-focal. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

Hi

I confirm that the proposed package works. Thanks for your help.

I installed the proposed 2.0.2-1ubuntu1 package
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/s3cmd/2.0.2-1ubuntu1
by adding the focal-proposed repository.
After that, all the s3cmd commands worked without the annoying SyntaxWarning message.

This bug was fixed in the package s3cmd - 2.0.2-1ubuntu1
