Details
python-future is now deprecated and does not work with python 3.12. From gentoo's package notes:
# Deprecated, doesn't work with python 3.12. Unmaintained with last
# serious release in 2019, and another release in 2024 that claims
# to support python 3.12 but fails tests if you actually do. No
# route to making it work with python 3.13 at all, and upstream
# explicitly states that future "like Python 2, is now done". The
# package is entirely redundant to packages not supporting python
# 2 anymore, and the ones that do support it should be using
# dev-python/six instead, anyways. Bug #888271
# Removal on 2024-04-13.
Impact
If this project does depend on future (as stated in requirements-python3x.txt), it will stop working or present with issues starting with python 3.12.
NeedBy
future library should be purged from this project before distributions ship with python 3.12 or potentially 3.13 as the default. Until fixed, users should be instructed to use a virtualenv with <python-3.12.
Severity
Moderate.
