Bug#1001484: sfepy: (autopkgtest) needs update for python3.10: Sequence' from 'collections' is removed

Dear maintainer(s),

We are in the transition of adding python3.10 to the supported Python 
versions [0]. With a recent upload of python3-defaults the autopkgtest 
of sfepy fails in testing when that autopkgtest is run with the binary 
packages of python3-defaults from unstable. It passes when run with only 
packages from testing. In tabular form:

                        pass            fail
python3-defaults       from testing    3.9.8-1
sfepy                  from testing    2020.4-2
all others             from testing    from testing

I copied some of the output at the bottom of this report.

Currently this regression is blocking the migration of python3-defaults 
to testing [1]. https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.10.html lists 
what's new in Python3.10, it may help to identify what needs to be 
updated. https://docs.python.org/3.9/library/collections.html says:
"""
Deprecated since version 3.3, will be removed in version 3.10: Moved 
Collections Abstract Base Classes to the collections.abc module. For 
backwards compatibility, they continue to be visible in this module 
through Python 3.9.
"""
Time to move on.
