Hi, Unless your package has "async" or "await" as API, you should ... ...simply patch the bad code so that it doesn't include await / async where it should not. I did this extensively for OpenStack, and that's really not hard to do. The most annoying one was Glance, as one of its folder was named "async". It's annoying because a patch file cannot rename a folder with zero byte files (and in Python, there's many __init__.py files...). So, one has to rename the folder in debian/rules, and the rest of the patch is done as usual (except that it's done *before* the folder rename). I hope this helps, Cheers, Thomas Goirand (zigo)
