%{python3_sitearch}/pyximport/pyximport.pyx includes an "import imp" statement. The imp module was removed in python 3.12. This affects the python-uvloop build at least: ====================================================================== ERROR: test_libuv_get_loop_t_ptr (tests.test_libuv_api.Test_UV_libuv.test_libuv_get_loop_t_ptr) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "/builddir/build/BUILD/uvloop-0.17.0/tests/test_libuv_api.py", line 12, in test_libuv_get_loop_t_ptr import pyximport File "/usr/lib64/python3.12/site-packages/pyximport/__init__.py", line 1, in <module> from .pyximport import * File "/usr/lib64/python3.12/site-packages/pyximport/pyximport.py", line 51, in <module> import imp ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'imp' Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Try to build python-uvloop in Rawhide 2. 3. Actual Results: Several test failures, including the one shown above.
I am reluctant to add a runtime Requires here because not everything needs pyximport, but if this is blocking a lot of packages, will do that. Slightly related: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/Cython/pull-request/45
Cython 3 does not use imp. Reassigning to the compact package.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 39 development cycle. Changing version to 39.
