Public bug reported:
Trying to launch playonlinux on a Ubuntu 25.04 system with Python 3.13
(upgraded system w/playonlinux installed pre-upgrade), it crashes on
launch. Removing and reinstalling via apt did not affect the behavior.
Console output up until the crash:
playonlinux
Looking for python3... 3.13.3 - selected
/usr/share/playonlinux/python/mainwindow.py:711: SyntaxWarning: invalid escape

import subprocess, shlex, pipes, wx
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pipes'
Found some threads online suggesting that Python 3.13 was the culprit.
Then tried installing the ubuntu package for the pipse module:
"python3-standard-pipes". Upon installing this package, playonlinux
launched again.
A possible solution would perhaps be to make "python3-standard-pipes" a
dependency for playonlinux.
