Debbie can't compile GDAL Master (GDAL 3.3)

[robe]

Different issue from GDAL 3.2 that was just fixed by EvenR.

This has been going on sometime between March 1st and March 19th (I have a huge gap of missing builds for some reason) but I've been distracted with other things.

for dir in python ; do (cd $dir; make build) || exit; done
make[2]: Entering directory '/var/lib/jenkins/workspace/gdal/branches/3.3/gdal/swig/python'
rm -f setup_vars.ini
echo 'GNM_ENABLED=yes' >> setup_vars.ini
python setup.py build
WARNING: numpy not available!  Array support will not be enabled
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 348, in <module>
    readme = open('README.rst', encoding="utf-8").read()
TypeError: 'encoding' is an invalid keyword argument for this 

So I'm assuming maybe a newer Python or something is required for than what Debbie has installed.

This stackoverflow suggests it's because of Python 2 and only supported in Python 3

The terminal you are trying to run this on probably uses Python 2.x as standard.

Try using the command "Python3" specifically in the terminal:

$ Python3 yourfile.py

(Tested and confirmed that 2.7 will give that error and that Python3 handles it just fine.)

Just disabled python building for now. Don't really need it.

I should add debbie does have python and python3 installed, but tried to make it the default with

alias python='/usr/bin/python3'

but didn't seem to work
