** Description changed:
+ [Impact]
+
+ DisplayCAL, when released, was only compatible with Python 3.8-3.11.
+ However, all it needed was WxWidgets 4.1.1 and a few patches to make it
+ work with Python 3.12. Without, it would simply fail.
+
+
+ [Test Case]
+
+ * Install displaycal
+ * Run displaycal
+
+ Expected: Run normally
+ Result:
+
+ Traceback (most recent call last):
+ File "/usr/bin/displaycal", line 4, in <module>
+ from DisplayCAL.main import main
+ File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/DisplayCAL/main.py", line 27, in
<module>
+ raise RuntimeError(
+ RuntimeError: Need Python version >= 3.8 <= 3.11, got 3.12.2
+
+
+ [What could go wrong]
+
+ The DisplayCAL developers do not yet support Python 3.12 until the
+ release of WxWidgets 4.2.0 since it could crash upon closure. I (Erich
+ Eickmeyer) have not experienced this in my testing, however, it is
+ plausible. Additionally, the patches that were used to make this work
+ were developed after the release of DisplayCAL 3.9.12, but still applied
+ cleanly to 3.9.11 and made it function correctly.
+
+
+ [Other Information]
+
+ Original bug report:
+
I have upgraded to the noble beta today, and displaycal fails to start.
The package dependencies request python 3.12, but the actual software
needs 3.11 (or older).
