Severity: serious
Justification: crashes on startup; not usable

Dear Maintainer,
Installing python3-whiteboard and running python-whiteboard fails as follows:
$ /usr/bin/python-whiteboard
Using directory: /usr/share/python-whiteboard
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/python-whiteboard", line 24, in <module>
if __name__ == '__main__': main()
File "/usr/bin/python-whiteboard", line 20, in main
import pywhiteboard
File "/usr/share/python-whiteboard/pywhiteboard.py", line 4, in <module>
from wiimote import Wiimote
File "/usr/share/python-whiteboard/wiimote.py", line 93
except bluetooth.BluetoothError, errString:
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Quickly fixing that bug reveals that there are more:
/usr/share/python-whiteboard/linuxWiimoteLib.py:
TabError: inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation
Looking at the upstream git repo, there seems to be some more recent commits
since this particular git snapshot and they are aimed at PyQt5 and Python 3
compatibility.
If possible, this package should be updated in bullseye but I suspect that
the release managers will not like the size of the changes required; if that
is the case then it should be removed from bullseye, but perhaps it could
appear in bullseye-backports instead.
thanks
Stuart
