[Debichem-devel] Bug#1056457: python-ase's autopkg tests fail with Python 3.12

[Graham Inggs]

Control: severity -1 important

Hi s3v

Thank you for all the links to the upstream commits.  I have applied
them, and python-ase now builds successfully (closing #1056184).

However, since spglib stopped building its extension for all supported
Python versions (see #1057858) testing python-ase against Python 3.12
now fails with:

531s INTERNALERROR> Traceback (most recent call last):
531s INTERNALERROR>   File
"/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/spglib/spglib.py", line 41, in
<module>
531s INTERNALERROR>     from spglib import _spglib as spg
531s INTERNALERROR> ImportError: cannot import name '_spglib' from
partially initialized module 'spglib' (most likely due to a circular
import) (/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/spglib/__init__.py)

Therefore, I let python-ase only test against the default Python
version [1], and lower the severity of this bug, until either Python
3.12 is the default, or spglib builds its extension for all supported
Python versions again.

Regards
Graham
