Python 3.12 - AttributeError: module 'pathlib' has no attribute '_Flavour'

[briantist]

Python 3.12 is now released, but it does not work due to pathlib changes:

/opt/hostedtoolcache/Python/3.12.0-rc.1/x64/lib/python3.12/site-packages/artifactory.py:426: in
class _ArtifactoryFlavour(pathlib._Flavour):
E AttributeError: module 'pathlib' has no attribute '_Flavour'

I figured I'd add 3.12 into the test matrix on my project which relies on this library, and that's how I found this issue:

• https://github.com/briantist/galactory/actions/runs/5844080610/job/15846784439?pr=80#step:5:40

Not any kind of pressing issue yet.

Thank you for the feedback!
If anyone has idea how to fix this - feel free to create a PR

Python 3.12 will add support for subclassing pathlib.PurePath and Path

See also the cpython github issue: python/cpython#31691

I'm hoping to add a pathlib.PathBase class for Python 3.13. Once it's in the codebase, I'll publish a backport package on PyPI for Python <3.13. dohq-artifactory could subclass PathBase to implement ArtifactoryPath.

@barneygale Thank you for your work in core for this. It will be great to simplify the dohq-artifactory codebase.

Do you suggest any other solution for py312 in the meantime? Should we try subclassing something from py312's pathlib prior to pathlib.PathBase being available?

I'm running Python 3.12 on my laptop (Fedora 39), and I've hacked artifactory.py so that it doesn't crash. I can list directories and download and upload basic files. My changes are in my py312 branch, but I'm not sure they're acceptable for a PR here.

I'd recommend that you wait if you can - I'm expecting to publish a PyPI package with the base classes some time this month.

Preview: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/33f9af159adce62008934a6d304511401d650a8d/Lib/pathlib/_abc.py#L535

Git project: https://github.com/barneygale/pathlib_abc

Currently it only supports Python 3.11+, but I should have it working for 3.8+ within a couple of weeks, at which point I'll publish a PyPI package.

First PyPI release: https://pypi.org/project/pathlib-abc/0.1.0/

I'm seeing the same issue in py3.11 now
