Arch Linux User Repository

key-mon doesn't work anymore, due to changes in python, SafeConfigParser() has been replaced by ConfigParser()

Solution (from the package sources):

git clone https://github.com/scottkirkwood/key-mon
cd key-mon
git diff 6e8dfaba5cfd2f0aa7cc3e66f47113ea0bb8423a >../ConfigParser.patch

add the file and checksum from (sha512sum ConfigParser.patch)

source=("${url}/archive/${pkgver}.tar.gz"
        'ConfigParser.patch')
sha512sums=('8f8ef0a1cad92d6bd6e3e954b7b6989e69153ade83a41362561eae2e546df6dc1e4165c4fbc47357d489ea8df7f24a1a52d2f72afa17482f04f509c0b8e4a4fd'
            '4c1f8072bbb97034de88a27eb196d82404458a6a9be415281e756013bde62b2f73be5df29b25047e7dbac5042896e486e99109cf7d7697ec612dc7029312e499')

Andd add this in the build() function, before python setup.py build:

    patch -Np1 -i ../ConfigParser.patch

Also, namcap reports:

PKGBUILD (key-mon) W: Non-unique source name (1.20.tar.gz). Use a unique filename.

key-mon E: Apache is not a valid SPDX license identifier. See https://spdx.org/licenses/ for valid identifiers, or prefix the identifier with 'LicenseRef-', if it is custom.

To solve this issue, one can download the patch from the pull request #107 (https://github.com/scottkirkwood/key-mon/pull/107.patch) and apply to the source code.

Here is a diff from what is today and a PKGBUILD that works:

Still not working here, can we get this fixed?

Python 3.12 incompatibility was fixed after https://github.com/scottkirkwood/key-mon/issues/105 (see linked pull request), but not released. This patch would be nice to be included in here.

Does not work since some month

Thwows:

tutorius@pacoblitz ~]$ key-mon

ImportError: cannot import name 'SafeConfigParser' from 'configparser' (/usr/lib/python3.12/configparser.py). Did you mean: 'RawConfigParser'?

Any hints?

could you please fix this?

thanks, j

Today I installed and do not work until I installed python2-gobject2

@Popolon Thank you very much!
