AttributeError: module 'unittest.mock' has no attribute '_is_started'

[rndusr]

This happens with Python 3.8.3rc1.

I don't know how to reproduce this issue but it looks like asynctest is using a private function that is commented as "XXXX horrible" that was removed in this commit: https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/4b222c9491d1700e9bdd98e6889b8d0ea1c7321e

Can you provide a stack trace?

[rndusr]

Sure thing.

I can confirm this issue on Python 3.9.

When running the unittests there are multiple instances of this error - e.g.:

test_generator_arg_is_default_mock (test.Test_patch_decorator_coroutine_or_generator) ... ERROR
Exception ignored in: <function _PatchedGenerator.__del__ at 0xf6b8c9b8>
Traceback (most recent call last):

    return unittest.mock._is_started(patching)

See https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//work/tasks/8916/45078916/build.log for details.

This log also contains a bunch of other errors.

btw work-around is switching unittest.IsolatedAsyncioTestCase
