[Python-modules-team] Bug#896219: python3-importmagic: importmagic fails to import

[Helmut Grohne]

Package: python3-importmagic
Version: 0.1.7-1
Severity: serious
User: helmutg at debian.org
Usertags: python-import

After installing python3-importmagic importing the module importmagic
into a python interpreter fails with the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/importmagic/__init__.py", line 10, in <module>
    from importmagic.index import SymbolIndex
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/importmagic/index.py", line 11, in <module>
    from distutils import sysconfig
ImportError: cannot import name 'sysconfig'

The vast majority of import failures is attributed to missing dependencies.
Often times that manifests as an ImportError or ModuleNotFoundError.
Typically, dependencies should be inserted by dh-python via ${python:Depends}
or ${python3:Depends}. Thus a missing dependency can be caused by incomplete
install_requires in setup.py. Sometimes a missing dependency of a dependency
is the cause, in such cases this bug should be reassigned.
