This is a bug in Python 3.8.0b1 -- the headers should be compatible with C90. I'll work on a patch tomorrow.

However the actual error is:

error: ‘PyTypeObject’ {aka ‘struct _typeobject’} has no member named ‘tp_print’

AFAIK this has actually been removed, correct? It's not documented in https://docs.python.org/3.8/whatsnew/3.8.html

Yes, tp_print has been removed; python-dbus needs to change.

> [C90 incompatibility] is a bug in Python 3.8.0b1 -- the headers should be compatible with C90. I'll work on a patch tomorrow.

OK, my bad. Python needs C99 since 3.6; python-dbus needs to change here as well.

This issue is blocking the Python 3.8 rebuilds. If this package won't build with 3.8, it won't be installable, along with all its dependent packages, after the side tag is merged.
Furthermore, as it fails to install, its dependent packages will fail to install and/or build as well. The fix should be pushed on the master branch and no release bump is required.

Testing and mass rebuild of packages is happening in copr. You can follow these instructions to test locally in mock if your package builds with Python 3.8: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/python/python3.8/

This issue needs to be resolved by next week, if other rebuilds of Python 3.8 beta 1 go well. If this is unrealistic for you, let us know how much time you need.

If you don't have free cycles to dedicate fixing your package, notify us and we'll try to provide some pointers. Let us know if we can push a fix directly without a pull request, in the case we happen to have one before you do.

We recommend always consulting with upstream, chances are this is already fixed there.

No good options, lots of things depend on dbus-python and there has been little activity upstream since the last release (as far as I can tell).

So we'll patch. Should be easy (#if PY_MAJOR_VERSION < 3, do the tp_print, else don't).

I'm working on a patch.
