Bug#959911: python3.7: No module named '_cffi_backend'

Show all headers | View raw

Package: python3-cryptography
Version: 2.8-4
Severity: important

I am not sure if it is more pertinent to python3-cffi or one of its packages.

I am still using python3.7 which is AFAIK still supported on sid.  But with it,
it fails to import (using it via keyrings module):

	$> docker run -it --rm debian:sid
	root@c911d74fa6cb:/# apt-get update -qqq; apt-get install -y python3.7 python3-cryptography >/dev/null
	debconf: delaying package configuration, since apt-utils is not installed
	root@c911d74fa6cb:/# python3.7 -c 'import cryptography.hazmat.primitives.constant_time'
	Traceback (most recent call last):
	  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
	  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/cryptography/hazmat/primitives/constant_time.py", line 11, in <module>

	drwxr-xr-x 3 root root   4096 May  6 20:48 openssl

it imports fine with python3.8 in sid.  I wonder if that is the .abi3 which is
not compatible with python 3.7?
