Description Tomáš Hrnčiar 2021-11-22 14:51:17 UTC
python-scripttester fails to build with Python 3.11.0a2.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/builddir/build/BUILD/scripttester-0.1/setup.py", line 27, in <module>
    version=versioneer.get_version(),
            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "/builddir/build/BUILD/scripttester-0.1/versioneer.py", line 1480, in get_version
    return get_versions()["version"]
           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "/builddir/build/BUILD/scripttester-0.1/versioneer.py", line 1412, in get_versions
    cfg = get_config_from_root(root)
          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "/builddir/build/BUILD/scripttester-0.1/versioneer.py", line 342, in get_config_from_root
    parser = configparser.SafeConfigParser()
             ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: module 'configparser' has no attribute 'SafeConfigParser'. Did you mean: 'RawConfigParser'?

For the build logs, see:
https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/@python/python3.11/fedora-rawhide-x86_64/02979377-python-scripttester/

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

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 planned to be included in Fedora 37. 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.

This is another package with an old version of versioneer.py.  I have patched it to a later version and asked upstream to do so in their repository:

https://github.com/matthew-brett/scripttester/issues/1

The patched version has been built in Rawhide.
