tbb 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/oneTBB-2020.3/python/setup.py", line 24, in <module> from distutils.core import * 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.
It would seem that it can no longer find distutils.py. It is possible that newer version of TBB has been adjusted to account for change in Python, but upgrading to a newer TBB for Fedora is not in the cards currently, and unfortunately it is not a simple matter of just grabbing the latest upstream TBB. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2036372#c1. I can explore the proposed fix in a new TBB 2020.3 based version, I will not get to it until early January.
I have updated the tbb.spec to BuildRequire: python-setuptools, it seems to build fine now - https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=96032842
Thanks.
