Package: python3-bluez
Version: 0.23-4+b1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
I've just upgraded to python3.10 and every time when sending data over a
bluetooth
socket (using pybluez), the following error is raised:
sock.send(b"\r\n" + msg.encode("ASCII") + b"\r\n")
File "<string>", line 3, in send
SystemError: PY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN macro must be defined for '#' formats
PY_SSIZE_T_CLEAN seems to be required starting from python 3.10:
https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.10.html#id2
This makes the bluetooth sockets unusable, and as I would say that blueooth
sockets are a major part of this package, I set the severity to "important".
This bug has already been reported
(https://github.com/pybluez/pybluez/issues/426)
and fixed (https://github.com/pybluez/pybluez/pull/427) upstream. Sadly there
is no
new upstream release yet, the last release was in 2019 and discussions about a
new
release seem to dangle half a year now
(https://github.com/pybluez/pybluez/issues/416)
Until there is a new upstream release, could you please cherry-pick the
relevant fix
so the package can at least be used?
The issue linked in the discussion about a new release with setuptools >= 58
(https://github.com/pybluez/pybluez/issues/413) does not affect debian yet, but
might
also be worth considering.
