Hi!

While rebuilding the python related packages against the Python 3.15rc1
version we found that TODO fails to build from source [1].

There are three problems related to these faiures, 2 are related to
fixes needed in other packages (dill and astroid), but the third part is
caused by a bug pylint fixed upstream in the "Fixes for Python 3.15"
commit [2].

I applied the upstream fix in the sandbox [3] to be able to build the
packages that depend on TODO, please consider applying the patch to
support the upcoming 3.15 version.

Happy hacking,

Hi!

I've tested the new upstream release 4.0.8-1 and it is still failing to
build against Python 3.15rc2 [1].

This is due to the fact that the 4.0.x releases are being prepared in a
maintenance branch, and the upstream commit that fixes Python 3.15
support was only applied in main.

In other words, even though there was a new upstream release, the
upstream patch that I pointed to in my previous email [2] is still
needed to get pylint to build successfully against Python 3.15.

I've applied this fix in the sandbox [3] to verify that it builds
successfully, this should be applied in Debian to support the upcoming
Python 3.15 transition.

Happy hacking,
