This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 38 development cycle. Changing version to 38. Note the upstream of this project no longer exists - the github repo has been deleted (though the owner is still active) and it was never on pypi. In case anyone else struggles with it, btw, the thing this is for is a photometer produced by Cambridge Research Systems (not a software suite produced by ColorVision, or anything else you may find while struggling to google a thing called "OptiCAL"). Not many of them seem to exist, but somebody was still using one in 2018 at least - https://jov.arvojournals.org/article.aspx?articleid=2680679 - so I guess this isn't technically entirely obsolete. :D Thanks for doing the research on this Adam :D I've orphaned it and we'll let the automation retire it. |
python-pyoptical fails to build with Python 3.12.0a3. + /usr/bin/python3 setup.py build '--executable=/usr/bin/python3 -sP' Traceback (most recent call last): File "/builddir/build/BUILD/pyoptical-0.4/setup.py", line 3, in <module> from distutils.core import setup ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distutils' Remove the distutils package. It was deprecated in Python 3.10 by PEP 632 “Deprecate distutils module”. For projects still using distutils and cannot be updated to something else, the setuptools project can be installed: it still provides distutils. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in gh-92584.) If your package is listed in [0], you may workaround this issue by BuildRequiring python-setuptools, note that adding such BuildRequires might however hide some transitive dependency problem, if the distutils import comes from a dependency. Cooperation with upstream is recommended. Additional context [1].

You can follow these instructions to test locally in mock if your package builds with Python 3.12: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/python/python3.12/ Let us know here if you have any questions. Python 3.12 is planned to be included in Fedora 39. To make that update smoother, we're building Fedora packages with all pre-releases of Python 3.12. 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.
