[Python-modules-team] Bug#904357: python3-pysnmp4: fails to install with python 3.7

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: python3-pysnmp4
Version: 4.4.3-1
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts
Control: block 902788 with -1 

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed to install. As
per definition of the release team this makes the package too buggy for
a release, thus the severity.

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

  Setting up python3-pysnmp4 (4.4.3-1) ...
    File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pysnmp/carrier/asyncio/dgram/base.py", line 86
      self._lport = asyncio.async(c)
                                ^
  SyntaxError: invalid syntax
  
    File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pysnmp/carrier/asyncio/dispatch.py", line 72
      self.loopingcall = asyncio.async(self.handle_timeout())
                                     ^
  SyntaxError: invalid syntax
  
  dpkg: error processing package python3-pysnmp4 (--configure):
   installed python3-pysnmp4 package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1


"async" has become a reserved keyword in python 3.7


cheers,

Andreas
