Package: python3.8
Version: 3.8.4-1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream
Dear Maintainer,
Python 3.8.4 has a regression [1] (compared to Python 3.8.4~rc1 and earlier
versions) which break python3-aioxmpp [2] and potentially other packages [3].
The issue is being addressed upstream [4].
The impact is that importing or using the affected packages may fail with
an error message similar to:
TypeError: can't apply this __setattr__ to SomeTypeName
Please see the minimal reproducer in [4] or try to `import aioxmpp` with
python3.8-3.8.4-1 from experimental after installing python3-aioxmpp.
I’m not quite sure what can/should be done about this, but I wanted to file
this bug to track the issue, since it’ll cause build failures for
python-aioxmpp.
Kind regards & thanks,
Jonas Schäfer
