Bug Description

Imported from Debian bug http://bugs.debian.org/734586:

Package: objgraph
Version: 1.7.2-2

Hello,

objgraph's test suite fails with python 3.4:

| $ python3.4 tests.py
| ..........F/usr/lib/python3.4/imp.py:32: PendingDeprecationWarning: the imp module is deprecated in favour of importlib; see the module's documentation for alternative uses
| PendingDeprecationWarning)

It works fine with 2.7 and 3.3, so apparently Python 3.4 has some
changes in its garbage collection which fail that test?

Keeping at "normal" for now as Python 3.4 is still in experimental.
This will become serious (FTBFS) as soon as 3.4 becomes a supported
version in sid.

Thanks for considering,

Martin

This can also be seen when running the autopkgtest with python3.4 as default:

Upstream author here. Just noticed this by accident, from Martin's mail to ubuntu-devel. (I must've misconfigured the Launchpad project somehow because I didn't get an email notification.)

Is there a PPA where I could find Python 3.4 built for saucy?

Ok, I built a Python 3.4 from sources and can reproduce the error.

Ok, that test demonstrates a peculiarity of Python's garbage collection that was fixed in Python 3.4:
http://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/3.4.html#pep-442-safe-object-finalization

Therefore I think the best course of action is to disable this particular test on 3.4 and newer versions.
