Source: pdfrw Version: 0.4-2 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
Hi, the package fails with Python 3.7 and newer. Starting from Python 3.7, StopIteration is a RuntimeError (see PEP 479). But pdfrw still uses StopIteration: https://github.com/pmaupin/pdfrw/issues/145 https://github.com/pmaupin/pdfrw/issues/199 This package recently got its python2 package removed but since tests are disabled, nobody noticed that its tests fail with Python 3.7+: https://github.com/pmaupin/pdfrw/issues/198 https://github.com/pmaupin/pdfrw/issues/197 Other upstream bugs indicating that the package is broken on Python3: https://github.com/pmaupin/pdfrw/issues/193 https://github.com/pmaupin/pdfrw/issues/170 Upstream didn't close bugs for two years and the last commit was more than two years ago. Upstream admits not having time at the moment here: https://github.com/pmaupin/pdfrw/issues/195 And is looking for additional maintainers here: https://github.com/pmaupin/pdfrw/issues/191 In this state, pdfrw should not be included in the next Debian stable release.
