Package: playonlinux
Version: 4.3.4-4
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

After installing playonlinux it fails to start with a python error:

$ playonlinux
Looking for python3... 3.13.1 - selected
/usr/share/playonlinux/python/mainwindow.py:710: SyntaxWarning: invalid escape sequence '\|'
  self.SupprotedIconExt = "All|*.xpm;*.XPM;*.png;*.PNG;*.ico;*.ICO;*.jpg;*.JPG;*.jpeg;*.JPEG;*.bmp;*.BMP\
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/playonlinux/python/mainwindow.py", line 39, in <module>
    import lib.lng as lng
  File "/usr/share/playonlinux/python/lib/lng.py", line 6, in <module>
    from . import Variables
  File "/usr/share/playonlinux/python/lib/Variables.py", line 6, in <module>
    import wx, lib.playonlinux as playonlinux
  File "/usr/share/playonlinux/python/lib/playonlinux.py", line 8, in <module>
    import subprocess, shlex, pipes, wx
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pipes'

It is missing a dependency on python3-standard-pipes, which seems to be
removed from the standard python library (see PEP-594).

Installing python3-standard-pipes allows me to start the gui properly.

Thanks
