Description Klaus Kusche 2024-05-18 10:21:41 UTC
hplip still has PYTHON_COMPAT=( python3_{10,11} )
which causes emerge to fail if PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET is set to 3_12.

Default python will switch to python 3.12 on Jun 1st,
so please make the ebuild support 3.12 asap.
Comment 1 Duncan 2024-05-18 12:19:54 UTC
FWIW as a another user with hplip now being the only thing on my system without 3.12 support...

hplip depends (with USE=snmp set) on net-analyzer/net-snmp, which seems to fairly consistently be near the last to get new-python support (that's what hplip was waiting on for 3.11 support, for instance)... which means hplip is too. =:^(

If you have hplip installed with USE=-snmp you can try putting hplip in your overlay and bumping the dep yourself.  I've done this on previous python bumps without issue and am in the middle of an upgrade trying it for 3.12 now (it built/merged fine but unknown if it will it run properly after I finish upgrading everything else and reboot), as my second-to-last 3.11-only package finally got 3.12 support on my last sync leaving only hplip which I suspect will work with my overlay bump.  We'll see.

Tho unlike previous times I'm on qt6 now and I'm running no-gui (USE=-qt5) for hplip as it's still qt5 only, which means if there are GUI-related issues I'm likely to miss them in any case...

The package is effectively m-n. You should feel free to add py3.12 to it if it works.

Okay, will take a look at it in the next days.

Comment 7 Klaus Kusche 2024-06-02 16:50:09 UTC
Is this configparser.readfp() in the base code of hplip
or in optional code controlled by some USE flag?

Can hplip switch between PYTHON_COMPAT 10..11 and 10..12 depending on USE flags?

I have USE="minimal policykit static-ppds -X -doc -fax -hpcups -hpijs -kde -libnotify -libusb0 -parport -qt5 -scanner -snmp", so I'm using only a small fraction of hplip.

Fix depracated use of configparser.readfp()

As see here: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/dd0e8a62df8be2a09ef6035b4c92bd9a68a7b918/Lib/configparser.py#L757-L764

Porting to non-deprecated(now removed) method is trivial.

This is with gcc 14.1.1_p20240518.  Am I right this is not related to the python12 issue, in which case I can file a separate bug.  (I looked and didn't see one.)

You could give it a try with stable gcc 13.2.1_p20240210 first. If it compiles without problems you are sure it is related to the gcc version.
Comment 14 Jack 2024-06-03 18:13:38 UTC
Successful compile with gcc 13.2.1_p20240210 but not 14.1.1_p20240518.  
At least it looks like the conversion to python3.12 works.

Comment 16 Daniel Nilsson 2024-06-04 16:48:22 UTC
The new revision with python-3.12 support is still not stable, should this really have been closed? This still block the python 3.12 update on stable amd64 for me.

I know it is not stable. Unmask it and test it. I think it can be stabilised quickly as the the patches added only fix build failures,

(No worries, I like to run on stable if I can and just wanted to make sure it wasn't closed prematurely by accident. Thank you for you work on hplip in gentoo.)

I have now tested net-print/hplip-3.23.12-r3 with python 3.11. Appears to work fine, I can print. I will do the python upgrade later when I have time, maybe tomorrow, and report back.

Appreciated. Maintaining hplip is not a lot of fun. Support from HP is basically non existing. They say it is open source but that's it. I have given up on reporting bugs upstream a long time ago because nobody seems to care.

Bug #933605 has already been opened so let's just start stabilising it. Please report any problems you find.
Comment 20 Daniel Nilsson 2024-06-08 15:23:24 UTC
I have upgraded to python-3.12, no issues with hplip, printing still works.
Thank you again!
