Bug#975398: reportbug crashes with Python 3.9
Package: python3-reportbug
Version: 7.8.0
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
X-Debbugs-Cc: roderich.schupp@gmail.com
Trying to retrieve a bug page in "reportbug" (using Python 3.9 which
just became the default in unstable) results in
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/reportbug/ui/gtk_ui.py", line 435, in
pulse
return self.isAlive()
AttributeError: 'BugPage' object has no attribute 'isAlive'
Note: class BugPage is derived from threading.Thread)
Reason (from "What's New In Python 3.9"):
The :meth:`~threading.Thread.isAlive()` method of :class:`threading.Thread` has
been removed. It was deprecated since Python 3.8. Use
:meth:`~threading.Thread.is_alive()` instead.
Patch attached.
Cheers, Roderich
