Bug#954307: nemo-python: python 3.8 based nemo extensions fail to execute
Package: nemo-python
Version: 4.4.0-2+b1
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
python 3.8 is now the default in unstable. Python based extensions
no longer execute when nemo is running
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Install nemo-python in unstable
* What was the outcome of this action?
When nemo is run you see the following:
** (nemo:1355): WARNING **: 21:32:22.824: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/nemo/extensions-3.0/libnemo-python.so:
undefined symbol: PyExc_ImportError
* What outcome did you expect instead?
nemo to start without warnings
enc is a debdiff to resolve
