You can follow these instructions to test locally in mock if your package builds with Python 3.13: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/python/python3.13/ Let us know here if you have any questions. Python 3.13 is planned to be included in Fedora 41. To make that update smoother, we're building Fedora packages with all pre-releases of Python 3.13. 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.
The code actually is like this: import optparse options = optparse.Values() ... Utils.alloc_process_pool(options.jobs) It looks like options.jobs doesn't exist anymore. From https://docs.python.org/3.13/whatsnew/3.13.html: getopt and optparse modules: They are now soft deprecated: the argparse module should be used for new projects. Previously, the optparse module was already deprecated, its removal was not scheduled, and no warnings was emitted: so there is no change in practice. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in gh-106535.) It looks like this deprecation isn't so soft.
Hm. This snippet: from optparse import OptionParser parser = OptionParser() parser.add_option('-j', '--jobs', type='int', dest="jobs") (options, args) = parser.parse_args(args=['-j8']) print(options.jobs) works for both, 3.12 and 3.13 in my tests. The culprit must at a not so obvious location...
The problem is there in a06, but not in a05. After testing and searching around, I am pretty confident this is https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/117750.
I backported https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/117808 to our copr Python and rebuilt waf - it's built successfully: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/python/python3.13/build/7316612/
Cool. So, we leave the bug open for now, but close whenever an 'official' 3.13 build hits rawhide?
waf keeps building with the "almost official" 3.13, so closing.
