Bug#950147: sagemath ftbfs with python 3.8

[Tobias Hansen]

Hi,

Arch Linux has a patch for that:
https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/tree/trunk/sagemath-python-3.8.patch?h=packages/sagemath

We plan to apply it when the default Python switches to 3.8. If we apply it now, the doctests will fail with Python 3.7. I haven't yet tried building with Python 3.8 though.

Best,
Tobias
