Hi!

While rebuilding the python related packages against the Python 3.15rc2
version we found that python-scrapy fails to build from source:
https://debusine.debian.net/debian/r-python-python3.15/artifact/4855316/

 From the log, the error seems to be:

=================================== FAILURES
===================================
E
E         - closespider_pagecount_no_item
E         + finished

tests/test_closespider.py:53: AssertionError

Please note that while we ran into this error during the rebuild against
Python 3.15, that doesn't mean that the root cause for the failure is
necessarily the new Python version, but in this case it seems quite
likely, as the same test succeeds on Python 3.14 and fails on Python
3.15.

In order to build against the test archive, which includes not only
python3.15 but also all the relevant build-dependencies rebuilt against
it, you can add the test repository:

  deb http://deb.debusine.debian.net/debian/r-python-python3.15
sid-python3.15 main

The corresponding signing key can be seen in the first section of
https://deb.debusine.debian.net/debian/r-python-python3.15/

To build from a git repository, you can use something like:
  gbp buildpackage --no-clean-source --git-builder='sbuild
--no-run-lintian --extra-repository="deb 
http://deb.debusine.debian.net/debian/r-python-python3.15 sid-python3.15
main" --extra-repository-key="/path/to/signing-keys.asc"'

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

Flaky test, not specific to 3.15, fixed in the latest (not yet packaged)
release.

Control: user debian-python@lists.debian.org
Control: usertag -1 python3.15

Alright, but please don't remove the usertag, as it helps us keep track
of the issues that we've filed vs those that we haven't filed yet.

Thanks.

We believe that the bug you reported is fixed in the latest version of
python-scrapy, 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 1149528@bugs.debian.org,
and the maintainer will reopen the bug report if appropriate.
