Bug ID: 497859
Summary: cgitb is required for python scripting but was removed
from Python 3.13.
Classification: Applications
Product: krita
Version: unspecified
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Scripting
Assignee: krita-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: a2800...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I receive the following error starting krita, with the consequence that the
Scripting environment is not functional:
```
Set PYTHONPATH environment variable
/usr/lib/krita-python-libs/krita added to PYTHONPATH
krita.scripting: "Traceback (most recent call last):"
krita.scripting: " File \"/usr/lib/krita-python-libs/krita/__init__.py\", line
32, in <module>"
krita.scripting: " import excepthook"
krita.scripting: " File \"/usr/lib/krita-python-libs/krita/excepthook.py\",
line 14, in <module>"
krita.scripting: " import cgitb"
krita.scripting: "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'cgitb'"
krita.scripting: "Could not import krita"
```
I believe this is the consequence of my system Python version being 3.13 and
that `cgitb` was removed in 3.13 after being deprecated in 3.11. This may be
the result of me using arch and I sincerely hope this is not just an arch user
annoyance, I assume this will probably bite scripting users as soon as they
reach 3.13.
The offending import in `excepthook.py` appears in all branches I've scrounged
through on gitlab.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. start krita from the commandline
OBSERVED RESULT
The error message above and an empty tools menu.
EXPECTED RESULT
A working Scripter
