When running ThinLinc on the upcoming Python 3.13¹, it will crash² like this:

The cause is the workaround we did on bug 8260. We got upstream to resolve the issue properly, but unfortunately in a way that is incompatible with our workaround.

¹ I didn't really test 3.13, but rather simulated the change on Python 3.10
² Technically, the service is still running, but fails to do something useful
Comment 1 Tobias cendio 2024-04-04 09:27:08 CEST
The upstream update mentioned in comment #0:
https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/115667
Comment 3 Tobias cendio 2024-04-05 13:12:37 CEST
This issue has been resolved by simply not patching when we detect that the relevant upstream updates are in place.

Tested using server build #3545 on Fedora39 (python 3.12.1) and RHEL9 (python 3.9.18). Python "3.13.0" was simulated by applying the commit mentioned in comment #1 on the corresponding python libraries.

         | python 3.9 | python 3.12 | python "3.13"
---------------------------------------------------
pre-fix  | OK         | OK          | CRASH
---------------------------------------------------
post-fix | OK         | OK          | OK

The crash could be observed with pre-fix code inappropriately patching 3.13, and conversely, no crash observed post-fix. Furthermore, things were working as before with post-fix code in place when running contemporary python versions.

MUST:
> Our patching of asyncio logging must not cause a crash with the upcoming Python 3.13 updates.
✅ It doesn't.

SHOULD:
> Future developers should be signaled when this patching is redundant.
✅ They are: code comments have been left for future developers.


--------
Setting this bug as resolved.
Comment 7 Alexander Zeijlon cendio 2024-04-09 16:03:20 CEST
I tested the behavior of the patch function with and without the 3.13-changes applied, and could see that the new patch behavior prevents the crash that we could see in comment 0.

The commits look good, closing.
