Package: src:cheetah
Version: 3.4.0-1
User: [email protected]
Usertags: python3.15
Hi!
While rebuilding packages with python 3.15 we found that cheetah fails
to build because load_module was removed.
I'm attaching a debdiff with the upstream patch that replaces the call
to load_module. Please consider fixing this before python 3.15 is in
unstable.
I've also prepared a merge request in salsa,
https://salsa.debian.org/jcfp/cheetah/-/merge_requests/1 which might be
easier to work with depending on your workflow.
Happy hacking,

+ Stop using load_module() in compat
+
+ load_module() has been deprecated effectively since it was added,
+ replaced by exec_module in Python 3.5, switch to using that, since
+ load_module() was removed in Python 3.15.
+
+ Note this effectively removes support for Python 3.4, but I can reenable
+ that if you prefer.
