[Python-apps-team] Bug#976189: Bug 9761189 - How to fix

[rcm0502]

Hello Maintainer:


Came across this as well and did some digging to find the cause. Found that
Python 3.9 removed the getiterator attribute and replaced it with iter.


To fix, in file "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/catfish_lib/Builder.py" at
line 87 changed this line:

ele_widgets = tree.getiterator("object")

to

ele_widgets = tree.iter("object")

Also found one more line in the file needed to be changed (as I scanned to
see if "getiterator" was mentioned anywhere else in the file) and it's this
code at line 112:

ele_signals = tree.getiterator("signal")

Changed it to show:

ele_signals = tree.iter("signal")

Saved the original with .orig extension then saved changed file as
Builder.py.

Tested catfish again from terminal and it started right up and functioned
normally as I tested several searches. As I never did a patch diff before,
if anyone can create a patch from my notes here feel free to do so.

Cheers!
