Allow installation on buster of a package not supporting 3.7 (async/await syntax error when generating bytecode)

[Adam Cécile <acecile@le-vert.net>]

Hello list,


I have a package working perfectly fine on Pyrhon 3.6 but using 
async/await methods so it cannot work on python 3.7 at the moment.
During package compilation, I popd 3.7 from supported version returned 
by py3version and it allows me to build the package just fine:

Problem: I cannot install it. Despite 3.7 was not "enabled" during 
build, when installing debian helpers try to compile bytecode for both 
3.6 and 3.7 and fails. Is there any way to workaround that ?



Thanks in advance,

Adam.


PS: I'm aware this is transitional and the package MUST support 3.7, but 
I kinda need a fast workaround, like right now.
