Hi!
While rebuilding the python related packages against the Python 3.15rc1
version we found that TODO fails to build from source [1].
The issue is hiredis uses load_module in its setup.py, which is
deprecated since python 3.4, and removed in 3.15. Upstream already
tackled this problem and fixed the issue with the commit "MNT: do not
use deprecated load_module method"[2], which is included in the upstream
release 3.4.0.
I applied the upstream fix in the sandbox [3] to be able to build the
packages that depend on python-hiredis, please consider applying the
patch or updating the package to a newer upstream release to support the
upcoming 3.15 version.
Happy hacking,

Subject: MNT: do not use deprecated load_module method (#218)
The load_module method has been deprecated from py34 and will be removed in
py315 [1] (it is already gone on CPython main).
The recommended replacement is exec_module, however the documentation [2]
suggests to use a simpler approach than using the loaders directly and runpy
[3] seemed better than sys.path hacking.
Given that this is a one-line file simply reading the file and parsing it 'by
hand' is an option.
