zbar fails to build with Python 3.8.0b1. The code uses "tp_print", which was removed in Python 3.8. The enumitem_print function should be used only for Python 2. For the build logs, see: https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/@python/python3.8/fedora-rawhide-x86_64/00927091-zbar/ For all our attempts to build zbar with Python 3.8, see: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/python/python3.8/package/zbar/ 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.
