I need your help, I cannot possibly fix 178 packages.
I've opened bugzillas for some, but let me ask you via e-mail before I go file 176 of them.
Common problems:
RuntimeError: generator raised StopIteration https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0479/ Solution: return instead (works with 2.7 as well)
Syntax Error: async, await Those are reserved keywords now https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0492/ Solution: Rename. Add a wrapper if it's part of an API.
I happened to look at the failure for gpodder and noticed it was due to a SyntaxError exception. The code used async as a parameter, which is now a keyword in python-3.7 (along with await). I wonder how many other failures are due to that change in reserved keywords? At least those are easy to fix.
I filed a PR upstream and at src.fpo:
https://github.com/gpodder/gpodder/pull/487 https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/gpodder/pull-request/1
I'm not a gpodder maintainer (or user, I just poked it out of curiosity), so I can't push and build it.
