Package: python3-sphinx
Version: 9.1.0-2
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Dear Maintainer,
I just ran an apt upgrade on my Debian testing, and spotted a lot of Python
errors.
Happen that dpkg-reconfigure tries to use pypy3 to compile the
installed files, great, bug looks like python3-sphinx is using syntax that is
not compatible yet with pypy3:
# dpkg-reconfigure python3-sphinx
Failed to byte-compile
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/sphinx/_cli/__init__.py: File
"/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/sphinx/_cli/__init__.py", line 41
type _PARSER_SETUP = Callable[[argparse.ArgumentParser],
argparse.ArgumentParser]
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
According to strace, the command executed by dpkg-reconfigure is `pypy3compile
-p python3-sphinx`:
# pypy3compile -p python3-sphinx
Failed to byte-compile
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/sphinx/_cli/__init__.py: File
"/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/sphinx/_cli/__init__.py", line 41
type _PARSER_SETUP = Callable[[argparse.ArgumentParser],
argparse.ArgumentParser]
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
I'm only pasting a single error, but there's 120 lines of error, all the same
about using `type` in Python code.
The `type` statement exists since Python 3.12:
- https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.12.html#whatsnew312-pep695
and pypy3 is only compatible with Python 3.11.
