Replace deprecated imp module with importlib

Replace deprecated imp module with importlib

hugovk opened this issue a year ago · comments

This project uses the imp module which has been deprecated since Python 3.4 and removed in 3.12:

Raised PendingDeprecationWarning since 3.4 (2014)
Raised DeprecationWarning since 3.5 (2015)
Updated DeprecationWarning to say removal in 3.12 since 3.10 (2021)
Removal planned for 3.12 (2023)

Python 3.12 is set for release on 2023-10-02 and this library is one of the top 5,000 most-downloaded from PyPI.

Please could you upgrade to use importlib? The imp docs have suggestions on what to use to replace each function and constant.

Unfortunately this code uses imp.load_source which is not part of the imp documented API, so replacing it will be non-trivial.

I just had to upgrade to python 3.12, and can no longer use j2cli. Any updates on this? Time just ran out (for me anyway).

If you don't need to use --filters or --tests, you can use the fork at https://github.com/kpfleming/j2cli; it has that functionality removed so that it will be compatible with Python 3.12. Over the next week I'll be re-implementing that functionality in a way that is more well supported and extensible.

It took 2 weeks... but I've now published Jinjanator which resolves this issue by adding a much more flexible and less invasive plugin mechanism. It's being tested against Python 3.12 already.

Hi!
This project gets some interest, but sadly, I'm not maintaining it =\
