Description Petr Viktorin (pviktori) 2019-06-07 15:05:55 UTC 
libsbml fails to build with Python 3.8.0b1.

The function time.clock(), used in examples/python/readSBML.py, has been removed. It was deprecated since Python 3.3. Use time.perf_counter() or time.process_time() instead, depending on your requirements, to have a well defined behavior. 
More info:
https://docs.python.org/3.8/whatsnew/3.8.html#api-and-feature-removals

(ideally, add ", used in XXX.py" after "time.clock(),")

For the build logs, see:
https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/@python/python3.8/fedora-rawhide-x86_64/00925586-libsbml/

For all our attempts to build libsbml with Python 3.8, see:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/python/python3.8/package/libsbml/

Testing and mass rebuild of packages is happening in copr. You can follow these instructions to test locally in mock if your package builds with Python 3.8:
