You could package a non-conflicting cython-legacy, however that would
require more changes, also how to build it.
Hi Matthias,
Unfortunately, at least some of cython3-legacy doesn't currently work
with Python 3.12, and is the primary cause of (at least) #1056531.
cython3 provides the pyximport module, and that uses the imp module
which has been removed from Python 3.12.
Two possible ways forward on this particular bug:
- Disable all of the cython tests for this package for the time being,
until cython 3.x migrates to testing - this is simple and effective.
- Patch cython3-legacy to use importlib rather than imp. This is
probably a good thing to do anyway. (It may also be good to do this
with cython3 version 0.x currently in testing/unstable until cython
3.x is able to be uploaded to unstable.) Then have my package's
autopkgtest depend on cython3-legacy (unless cython3 0.x is also
patched).
