Description Miro Hrončok 2020-05-11 10:24:07 UTC 
python-ase fails to build with Python 3.9.0a6.

Failures and errors:
exciting/exciting.py: AttributeError: 'xml.etree.ElementTree.Element' object has no attribute 'getiterator'
========== Summary ==========
Number of tests   363
Passes:           252
Failures:           0
Errors:             1
Skipped:          110


See https://docs.python.org/3.9/whatsnew/3.9.html#removed

"Methods getchildren() and getiterator() in the ElementTree module have been removed. They were deprecated in Python 3.2. Use functions list() and iter() instead." 


For the build logs, see:
https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/@python/python3.9/fedora-rawhide-x86_64/01372574-python-ase/

For all our attempts to build python-ase with Python 3.9, see:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/python/python3.9/package/python-ase/

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 3.9:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/python/python3.9/

Let us know here if you have any questions.

Python 3.9 will be included in Fedora 33. To make that update smoother, we're building Fedora packages with early pre-releases of Python 3.9.
A build failure prevents us from testing all dependent packages (transitive [Build]Requires), so if this package is required a lot, it's important for us to get it fixed soon.
We'd appreciate help from the people who know this package best, but if you don't want to work on this now, let us know so we can try to work around it on our side.
Comment 1 marcindulak 2020-05-11 22:34:51 UTC 
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-ase/c/ce3d52f0080874c6dbc55abaf52f81750daa5c08?branch=master should fix it.

For some reasons the patch has not been included upstream https://gitlab.com/ase/ase/-/issues/580#note_338535048

Unfortunately I can't test this change with mock:

```
cat /etc/*release | grep PRETTY
PRETTY_NAME="Fedora 30 (Thirty)"

mock --version
2.1

sudo usermod -G mock vagrant  # logout/login

id | grep mock
uid=1000(vagrant) gid=1000(vagrant) groups=1000(vagrant),135(mock) context=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023

cat ~/.config/mock/fedora-rawhide-python39.cfg
include('/etc/mock/fedora-rawhide-x86_64.cfg')

config_opts['root'] = 'fedora-rawhide-python39'

config_opts[f'{config_opts.package_manager}.conf'] += """

Thanks. No idea about the mock problem, sorry.

Started a fedora 32 VM instead and the above mock error is not there anymore.
