python-pycxx fails to build with Python 3.12.0a3. + /usr/bin/python3 setup.py install -O1 --skip-build --root /builddir/build/BUILDROOT/python-pycxx-7.1.7-3.fc38.x86_64 --prefix /usr --prefix=/usr --install-headers=/usr/include/CXX --install-data=/usr/src Traceback (most recent call last): File "/builddir/build/BUILD/pycxx-7.1.7/setup.py", line 3, in <module> from distutils.command.install import install 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.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 38 development cycle. Changing version to 38.
This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 38 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 38 on 2024-05-21. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a 'version' of '38'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden. Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora Linux 38 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version prior to this bug being closed.
