imp removed in python 3.12

[principis]

imp is deprecated since python 3.4 and now removed in python 3.12. Currently thefuck cannot be run with python 3.12.

I'm able to replace imp, but the tests also break and I don't have enough knowledge of the project to solve those. It would be appreciated if this could be fixed before September, so that I can update thefuck without resorting to ugly fixes for the Fedora 39 release.

Got the same issue today when trying to re-install as well.

Any news on this ?

I need to fix my mistakes myself. That shouldnt happen 😆

Okay the master apparently works. Maybe a new version should be released at some time..

installing from sources (following the contributing guide) results in a working installation

It seems the solution might be as follows:

import importlib.util
import importlib.machinery

def load_source(modname, filename):
    loader = importlib.machinery.SourceFileLoader(modname, filename)
    spec = importlib.util.spec_from_file_location(modname, filename, loader=loader)
    module = importlib.util.module_from_spec(spec)
    # The module is always executed and not cached in sys.modules.
    # Uncomment the following line to cache the module.
    # sys.modules[module.__name__] = module
    loader.exec_module(module)
    return module

And here's a pull request to fix this issue: https://github.com/nvbn/thefuck/pull/1415

Well, at least the unit tests all pass with this branch, I couldn't figure out how to have the functional tests passing though :shrug:

fixed with simply sudo apt purge thefuck && pip uninstall thefuck && pip install git+https://github.com/nvbn/thefuck, as suggested above
