Package: python3-pysnmp4
Version: 4.4.12-2
Severity: important
Hello,
Current version shipped with Debian 12 is partially broken, asyncio backend is
using deprecated feature that have been removed from Python 3.11:
Traceback (most recent call last):

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
After looking at GitHub, here is what I figured out:
* Upstream maintainer of pySNMP4 has passed away so no more update are being
done (https://github.com/etingof/pysnmp/issues/429)
* A new upstream seems to have taken over the project
(https://github.com/lextudio/pysnmp)
* It is probably possible to backport a couple of asyncio fix to get the
package working with Python 3.11, I may be able to help but I'm not sure if
this is the way to go
(https://github.com/lextudio/pysnmp/commits/main/pysnmp/carrier/asyncio/dispatch.py)
In my opinion the bug is serious enough to require a fix for Debian 12, but it
is not my call. I'll try to backport asyncio fixes from new upstream into
stable package to see if it helps.
Best regards, Adam.
