Description Miro Hrončok 2020-03-26 18:09:53 UTC
openscap-daemon fails to build with Python 3.9.0a5.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/builddir/build/BUILD/openscap_daemon-0.1.10/setup.py", line 25, in <module>
    from openscap_daemon import version
  File "/builddir/build/BUILD/openscap_daemon-0.1.10/openscap_daemon/__init__.py", line 21, in <module>
    from openscap_daemon.evaluation_spec import EvaluationSpec
  File "/builddir/build/BUILD/openscap_daemon-0.1.10/openscap_daemon/evaluation_spec.py", line 22, in <module>
    from openscap_daemon import oscap_helpers
  File "/builddir/build/BUILD/openscap_daemon-0.1.10/openscap_daemon/oscap_helpers.py", line 27, in <module>
    from xml.etree import cElementTree as ElementTree
ImportError: cannot import name 'cElementTree' from 'xml.etree' (/usr/lib64/python3.9/xml/etree/__init__.py)

See https://docs.python.org/3.9/whatsnew/3.9.html#removed

"The xml.etree.cElementTree module has been removed."


For the build logs, see:
https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/@python/python3.9/fedora-rawhide-x86_64/01321066-openscap-daemon/

For all our attempts to build openscap-daemon with Python 3.9, see:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/python/python3.9/package/openscap-daemon/

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 3.9:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/python/python3.9/

Let us know here if you have any questions.

Python 3.9 will be included in Fedora 33. To make that update smoother, we're building Fedora packages with early pre-releases of Python 3.9.
A build failure prevents us from testing all dependent packages (transitive [Build]Requires), so if this package is required a lot, it's important for us to get it fixed soon.
We'd appreciate help from the people who know this package best, but if you don't want to work on this now, let us know so we can try to work around it on our side.
