Python 3.10 vs pyxb EoL

[rbour]

Python 3.10 has moved abstract base classes from collections to collections.abc available since Python 3.3. This has broken pyxb and, therefore, imports for authorizenet/sdk-python.

There has been a pyxb pull request pending for nearly 3 years that would likely fix this specific problem, but the pyxb author has indicated that the project is at end-of-life without funding or transfer of ownership.

It seems the path to supporting Python 3.10 would involve either:

1. Replace pyxb in the authorizenet/sdk-python project
2. Work with the pyxb author to get that project up to date

Any chance of supporting Python 3.10 in the near future?

Or any sort of timeline/road map would be valued.

Any plans?

At this point using requests lib with direct URL makes more sense!

Adding these two lines of code just before importing authorize.net resolves the error without requiring any modifications to the package's source files.

import collections
collections.MutableSequence = collections.abc.MutableSequence
