Description Tomáš Hrnčiar 2021-11-01 14:32:27 UTC
python-bids-validator fails to build with Python 3.11.0a1.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/builddir/build/BUILD/bids-validator-1.2.2/setup.py", line 5, in <module>
    setup(version=versioneer.get_version(),
                  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

    return get_versions()["version"]

  File "/builddir/build/BUILD/bids-validator-1.2.2/versioneer.py", line 342, in get_config_from_root
    parser = configparser.SafeConfigParser()
             ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: module 'configparser' has no attribute 'SafeConfigParser'. Did you mean: 'RawConfigParser'?

Removed from the configparser module: the SafeConfigParser class, the filename
property of the ParsingError class, the readfp() method of the ConfigParser
class, deprecated since Python 3.2. (Contributed by Hugo van Kemenade in
bpo-45173.)

For the build logs, see:
https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/@python/python3.11/fedora-rawhide-x86_64/02909778-python-bids-validator/

For all our attempts to build python-bids-validator with Python 3.11, see:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/python/python3.11/package/python-bids-validator/

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 3.11:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/python/python3.11/

Let us know here if you have any questions.

Python 3.11 is already included in Fedora 35. To make that update smoother, we're building Fedora packages with all pre-releases of Python 3.11.
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.

Comment 1 Ben Beasley 2021-11-08 00:38:32 UTC
I’ll update to the latest PyPI release, which is 1.8.4, verify python-pybids is still happy, and fix any remaining Python 3.11 issues that might exist.

Comment 2 Ben Beasley 2021-11-08 01:44:16 UTC
Version 1.8.4 still has versioneer.py 0.18, but 1.8.5 has 0.20, which fixes this issue. Since 1.8.4 is the latest version on PyPI, I’ll backport the versioneer.py from 1.8.5 for now.

The python-bids-validator 1.8.4 package still won’t work immediately in the Python 3.11 COPR, since it now uses %pyproject_check_import, and the version of python3-rpm-macros in the COPR doesn’t seem to be up-to-date enough for that to work yet, but the problem in *this* package will be resolved.
