Problems installing jmespath in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

[Tomasthanes]

I'm running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS in a VirtualBox VM and I just tried to install ansible with the following command line:

sudo apt-get install ansible -y

One of the dependencies that it installed was jmespath and I saw the following output from apt-get:

Setting up python3-jmespath (0.9.4-2) ... /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/jmespath/visitor.py:32: SyntaxWarning: "is" with a literal. Did you mean "=="? if x is 0 or x is 1: /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/jmespath/visitor.py:32: SyntaxWarning: "is" with a literal. Did you mean "=="? if x is 0 or x is 1: /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/jmespath/visitor.py:34: SyntaxWarning: "is" with a literal.

I'm guessing that this is not the result you expected. Is there any additional information that I can provide you?

I've attached a text file with all of the apt-get output. apt-get output.txt

Switching the above code references to == instead of "is" remediates this.

Is this something that the tens of thousands of package installers are supposed to do or would you do this in the next release of the package?

Fixed via https://github.com/jmespath/jmespath.py/issues/187 but not released (only in develop right now). I'll get a release out either today or Monday.

Thank you for the quick response!
