@gehenna14 Looks like it is an upstream issue. Would you mind opening ticket in their bug tracker?

Hello This package is broken after updating to python-3.13.5-1 I get a "RuntimeError: context has already been set" error when trying to start mcomix

Hm. When I build with makepkg it works correctly (builds with python3.12 paths) but is broken when I use my normal AUR helper (aura). My mistake, apologies for the noise.

"real fix" is rebuild with current Python.

Unable to launch with this error

$ mcomix &
[1] 2614
$ Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/mcomix", line 5, in <module>
    from mcomix.__main__ import main
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'mcomix'

Applied an ugly workaround for now, added this line to /usr/bin/mcomix (output from diff)

4a5
> sys.path.append('/usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages')

But this is not a real fix

Fixed in 2.2.1.

There is actually no _vendor directory in source package. @HurricanePootis could you open upstream bug for that?
