Hi Jean-Luc,
> while size > (0.9999999999 * pow(10L, 3)):
This syntax is perfectly fine for Python 2.7 which is what discus uses:
$ python2.7 -c "print 10L * 3"
30
$ python3 -c "print(10L * 3)"
File "<string>", line 1
print(10L * 3)

SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Have you altered what /usr/bin/python is on your system? /usr/bin/python
*must* invoke Python 2 on Debian systems. "python" is for Python 2; "python3"
is for Python 3, and so you should have a symlink /usr/bin/python -> python2.
regards
Stuart
