[Python-modules-team] Bug#946788: feedparser: PEP 479 problem causing StopIteration exceptions

[Christian Buhtz]

Package: python3-feedparser
Version: 5.2.1-1
Severity: normal
File: feedparser

Hello,

I still asked about how to handle this problem on the mailing list but did not
receive an answer.
https://alioth-lists.debian.net/pipermail/python-modules-
team/2019-December/061104.html

The debian-current stable version of feedparser is 5.2.1-1 and causing erorrs
because of PEP 479 which is switched on (armed) in Python 3.7.

Feedparser upstream still have fixed it with some lines but not yet released.
https://github.com/kurtmckee/feedparser/pull/131

The next planed stable release of Feedparser is a major one 6.0.0.

The question to you is if you would accept 6.0.0 in Debian 10 or is it a  bit
to much modifications?
Whould you prefere to see the fix backported?

Would the debian package maintainer backport this by him/herself and
create a 5.2.1-2?

Or is it better to have upstream release a 5.2.2 that the debian package
maintainer can introduce to Debian 10?

Or another way I can not see?

kind
