Hi!

While rebuilding the python related packages against the Python 3.15rc2
version we found that python-atom fails to build from source [1].

The error is:
error: ‘PyWeakref_GET_OBJECT’ was not declared in this scope

This is because the use of deprecated PyWeakref_GET_OBJECT needs to be
replaced with GetRef. I have created add patch to use PyWeakref_GetRef.
This should be forwarded upstream.

I've applied the fix in the sandbox [2] to verify that it builds
successfully, please consider applying the patch to support the upcoming
3.15 version.

Setting the severity to important for now. Once Python 3.15 is released,
it will be added to python3-defaults and this bug will become release
critical.

Happy hacking,

Hi,

Upstream has now applied a different (although similar) patch to fix
this:

https://github.com/nucleic/atom/pull/273/changes
https://github.com/nucleic/atom/commit/d1a980bbab4013d885e32237b46a84fcf636f9e0

It has been released as part of the 0.13.0 release that went out on Oct
9th.

We believe that the bug you reported is fixed in the latest version of
python-atom, which is due to be installed in the Debian FTP archive.

A summary of the changes between this version and the previous one is
attached.

Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed.  If you
have further comments please address them to 1147119@bugs.debian.org,
and the maintainer will reopen the bug report if appropriate.
