Hi! While rebuilding the python related packages against the Python 3.15rc2 version I ran into this FTBFS [1]. Similarly to what Rafael mentioned, I also saw that applying upstream patch: Replace PyString_FromString with PyUnicode_FromString for SWIG 4.5.0 compatibility (fb518ff492cd6a286f35b415cbd7fd0f6e3faedb) solves this issue. I've applied this fix in the sandbox [2] to verify that it builds successfully, please consider applying it in Debian to get the package back to a healthy state.

These macros previously mapped deprecated Python 2 C API names to their Python 3 equivalents.
