[X] I use KiKit at least version 1.5.0 (older version are not supported)
KiKit version
1.5.1
KiCAD version
8.0.1
Operating system
Debian sid
Description
The version of versioneer.py which is bundled with KiKit uses attributes which are no longer supported by python (definitely by 3.12, not sure about earlier versions). Building a debian package from the kikit pypi package using py2dsp or other tools like this fails:
$ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b

Versioneer 0.29 seems to fix this particular error.
Side note. Why build a proper deb package instead of pip? For one thing, that's the right way of doing things in Debian. But also because the documented way of doing it with pip fails:
$ pip3 install kikit
error: externally-managed-environment
× This environment is externally managed
╰─> To install Python packages system-wide, try apt install
python3-xyz, where xyz is the package you are trying to
install.
If you wish to install a non-Debian-packaged Python package,
create a virtual environment using python3 -m venv path/to/venv.
Then use path/to/venv/bin/python and path/to/venv/bin/pip. Make
sure you have python3-full installed.
If you wish to install a non-Debian packaged Python application,
it may be easiest to use pipx install xyz, which will manage a
virtual environment for you. Make sure you have pipx installed.
See /usr/share/doc/python3.11/README.venv for more information.
note: If you believe this is a mistake, please contact your Python installation or OS distribution provider. You can override this, at the risk of breaking your Python installation or OS, by passing --break-system-packages.
hint: See PEP 668 for the detailed specification.
