What happened?

After recent update of python on arch linux

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/yapsy/PluginManager.py", line 132, in <module>
    import importlib.abc.Loader as imp
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'importlib.abc.Loader'; 'importlib.abc' is not a package

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

https://docs.python.org/3.11/library/imp.html

imp has been removed in favour of importlib.

I had this same issue but changing

import importlib.abc.Loader as imp

to

from importlib.abc import Loader as imp

in /usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/yapsy/PluginManager.py resolved this error for me so that Gradience launches. However, I now get a new error:

AttributeError: type object 'Loader' has no attribute 'PY_SOURCE'
[yapsy] Unable to import plugin: /usr/share/gradience/plugins/firefox_gnome_theme
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/yapsy/PluginManager.py", line 518, in loadPlugins
    candidate_module = PluginManager._importModule(plugin_module_name, candidate_filepath)
                       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "/usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/yapsy/PluginManager.py", line 584, in _importModule
    candidate_module = imp.load_module(plugin_module_name,plugin_file,candidate_filepath+".py",("py","r",imp.PY_SOURCE))

and styles seem to only partially get applied (the sidebar in nautilus changes colors but not much else) , but that might be something else.

yapsy seems to have an open issue related to this: tibonihoo/yapsy#19

yapsy seems to have an open issue related to this: tibonihoo/yapsy#19

it also seems like they're looking for a new maintainer for yapsy...

As a temporary workaround, installing this aur package allows to run gradience.
