In the latest version of pymavlink, the developers have removed the reference to python-future, so you no longer need to use the patch. Seen in https://github.com/ArduPilot/pymavlink/commit/a5844d30e75e2f96dd7abb4e28bd9cf02f1451d2

@dreieck I pushed an update which removes the need for future. It was only used in a couple of spots and removal looked pretty safe. It's not thoroughly tested.

@dreieck That's a request for upstream. The pymavlink project still officially support Python2 as well as Python3. They do have an issue open from several years ago to drop Python2 support and I don't think they've made a final decision about when they intend to do that.

If possible, please remove the dependency on python-furure/ make the package working without python-future:

WARNING: python-future package is not compatible with Python 3.13

The python-future project was created in 2013 to attempt to save Python from the schism of version incompatibility that was threatening to tear apart the language (as Perl 6 contributed to the death of Perl).

That time is now past. Thanks to a huge porting effort across the Python community, Python 3 eventually thrived. Python 2 reached its end of life in 2020 and the python-future package should no longer be necessary. Use it to help with porting legacy code to Python 3 but don’t depend on it for new code.

If you use packages that depend on it, please contact maintainers and/or upstream of these packages and try to work out whether this dependency is really needed.

Regards and thanks for this package!

@bobpaul thx for the fast response! I am getting the following issue when installing mavlink from the AUR. (I just recently created it.)

https://github.com/acxz/pkgbuilds/issues/19

It could be the release of mavlink is so old that it assumes mavgen is in tools. Let me try with mavlink-git.

EDIT: Yeah mavlink-git worked just fine for me, sorry to bother you!

Are you sure that's the correct module path? The standalone mavgen.py script gets mavgen from generator, not tools:

$ cat $(which mavgen.py )
#!/usr/bin/python

'''

# allow running mavgen from within the tree without installing
if __name__ == "__main__" and __package__ is None:
    from os import sys, path
    sys.path.insert(0, path.dirname(path.dirname(path.dirname(path.abspath(__file__)))))

from pymavlink.generator import mavgen
from pymavlink.generator import mavparse

While this package does build for me, it seems like it is not installing the `pymavlink.tools.mavgen' module. Can you take a look into this?
