Package: s3cmd
Version: 0.9.3-1
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

Line 68 of S3/S3Uri.py contains an instance of the new decorator syntax
introduced in Python 2.4.

  @staticmethod
  def compose_uri(bucket, object = ""):
      return "s3://%s/%s" % (bucket, object)

You'd have to go back as far as Sarge to find a release that contains a 
Python version older than 2.4, but there are bound to be quite a few 
people who've upgraded from older releases and still have python2.3 
installed. As it stands now, byte-compilation fails and the package is 
left in an unusable state when an older Python version is installed.

Please version your Python dependency to >= 2.4. Optionally, a one line
patch (attached), will allow s3cmd to work properly with older python
versions.

Thanks,
