Thanks for the rationale tip!  I didn't mention the deadline I had in
mind anywhere else nor to anyone else.

With that date fast approaching, I decided it was time to test another
snapshot.  elpy_1.35.0+48.g4248dcc-1 (unreleased in git) is much
improved.  With Python 3.9 it now shows:

  Ran 466 tests, 438 results as expected, 3 unexpected, 25 skipped (2022-02-26 
15:12:25+0000, 46.147115 sec)

  3 unexpected results:
     FAILED  elpy-pdb-debug-buffer-from-beginning-should-enter-pdb
     FAILED  elpy-profile-buffer-or-region-test-fail
     FAILED  elpy-profile-buffer-or-region-test-indir-failed

and with Python 3.10:

  Ran 466 tests, 440 results as expected, 1 unexpected, 25 skipped (2022-02-26 
15:53:30+0000, 34.279938 sec)

  1 unexpected results:
     FAILED  elpy-pdb-debug-buffer-from-beginning-should-enter-pdb

The community is slow moving, but is making progress.  I won't be able
to properly investigate the single failing test (down from hundreds
IIRC) relevant to bookworm before late March.  Given the progress
upstream has made, I believe this bug may be closed, because the current
state of Elpy (on Salsa) is now a single failing test, where it was
hundreds with stalled upstream development before.  If kept open, please
feel free to ping me in April if progress on the remaining issue appears
to have stalled.

Best,
Nicholas
