pitivi fails to build with Python 3.8.0b1. The build no longer links to libpython, resulting in undefined references to Python API like Py_InitializeEx. Code that embeds Python (rather than building an extension module) needs to pass `--embed` to any `python3-config --libs` invocation to build with Python 3.8. More information: https://docs.python.org/3.8/whatsnew/3.8.html#debug-build-uses-the-same-abi-as-release-build For the build logs, see: https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/@python/python3.8/fedora-rawhide-x86_64/00927336-pitivi/ For all our attempts to build pitivi with Python 3.8, see: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/python/python3.8/package/pitivi/ 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 3.8: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/python/python3.8/ Let us know here if you have any questions.
