Description Karolina Surma 2023-10-25 15:02:35 UTC
python-fdb fails to build with Python 3.13.0a1.

+ /usr/bin/python3 setup.py build '--executable=/usr/bin/python3 -sP'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/builddir/build/BUILD/fdb-2.0.1/setup.py", line 13, in <module>
    from fdb import __version__
  File "/builddir/build/BUILD/fdb-2.0.1/fdb/__init__.py", line 28, in <module>
    from fdb import gstat
  File "/builddir/build/BUILD/fdb-2.0.1/fdb/gstat.py", line 28, in <module>
    from locale import LC_ALL, getlocale, setlocale, resetlocale
ImportError: cannot import name 'resetlocale' from 'locale' (/usr/lib64/python3.13/locale.py). Did you mean: '_setlocale'?
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.0u0vYB (%build)

https://docs.python.org/3.13/whatsnew/3.13.html
Remove locale.resetlocale() function deprecated in Python 3.11: use locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, "") instead. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in gh-104783.)

For the build logs, see:
https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/@python/python3.13/fedora-rawhide-x86_64/06546779-python-fdb/

For all our attempts to build python-fdb with Python 3.13, see:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/python/python3.13/package/python-fdb/

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 3.13:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/python/python3.13/

Let us know here if you have any questions.

Python 3.13 is planned to be included in Fedora 41.
To make that update smoother, we're building Fedora packages with all pre-releases of Python 3.13.
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 Philippe Makowski 2023-10-26 09:27:29 UTC
Since upstream is no longer maintain, the package is now retired
