Is isign unmaintained? Is there a way to get it to work?

[rfay]

Is this project maintained at all? Does pip install isign work on any platform? I've tried it on Ubuntu 18.04, Ubuntu 16.04, Debian 9, Debian 8. (I've also tried to build on macOS). It fails in each case.

Here's ubuntu 18.04:

apt-get update
apt-get install python-pip
pip install isign

Note that installing with pip3 (Ubuntu 18.04) also results in nonfunctional isign:

$ isign
  File "/usr/local/bin/isign", line 141
    print json.dumps(bundle_info, indent=4, separators=(',', ': '))
             ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Which I assume means that this is not meant for python3... and of course Python 2.7 is EOL is just a few months. 5 months and 29 days...

I got same error imformation. Do you have advice to fix it ?

@rfay This module is run by python2 . You can pip install isign first, and Then del dir site-packages/pyopenssl and site-packages/openssl, last reinstall pyopenssl.

Hmm, I don't have pyopenssl installed anywhere (did a find of the whole box), pip install pyopenssl gets this:

$ pip install pyopenssl

Hmm. isign is depend by pyopenssl, but i don't know why it has this problem. You can check your directory "/home/rfay/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages", try to run

command rm -Rf /home/rfay/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/OpenSSL /home/rfay/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pyOpenSSL*
pip2 install pyopenssl

and then check command Isign

I do seem to be able to install isign successfully for the current user only; I was trying to sudo pip install which puts it in /usr/local/bin... that fails no matter what I try. Thanks for the help.

I guess this must be a poor lost soul and unmaintained if there's no plan to get it to python3. Or is that true of lots of things and they'll just live on with no support for the language?
