According to https://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/3.14.html#pkgutil
Remove deprecated pkgutil.get_loader() and pkgutil.find_loader(). These had previously raised a DeprecationWarning since Python 3.12. (Contributed by Bénédikt Tran in gh-97850.)

For the build logs, see:
https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/@python/python3.14/fedora-rawhide-x86_64/08291441-dlib/

For all our attempts to build dlib with Python 3.14, see:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/python/python3.14/package/dlib/

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 3.14:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/python/python3.14/

Let us know here if you have any questions.

Python 3.14 is planned to be included in Fedora 43.
To make that update smoother, we're building Fedora packages with all pre-releases of Python 3.14.
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 Sandro 2025-01-11 11:38:00 UTC
The fix for the deprecated `pkgutil.find_loader()` is trivial. However, the package currently fails to build on Koji aarch64 builders. In Copr the package appears to be building just fine. I've got no idea how to troubleshoot that issue.

I filed bug 2337089 to track this. I can also reproduce the crash in qemu-user-static emulation, but as I noted in the bug, I can’t seem to run dtest under gdb in emulation.

Comment 3 Aoife Moloney 2025-02-26 13:17:53 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 42 development cycle.
Changing version to 42.
