[shifqu]

In this commit, the del X is still commented out due to the fact that upstream benjaminp/six#176 is not merged.

closes #2282

This change is 

[shifqu]

A new del statement. Does the same condition here apply as in #979 (comment)?

[gpapia]

kafka-python 2.0.2 doesn't work anymore (a ModuleNotFoundError) with Python 3.12 (why?) without this PR. It should be great to merge it.

[pawel-swiecki-saucelabs]

@gpapia Yes, this MR will most likely resolve ModuleNotFoundError, see #2401.

@shifqu Do you know who can be pinged to review this?

[wbarnha]

Thank you for the PR, sorry I didn't notice this sooner. I was hoping for a release of v2.0.3 before pulling in changes such as this. If the workflows pass, I'll approve.

[wbarnha]

It doesn't fix the 3.12 tests entirely, but nevertheless a step in the right direction. The failing async test is a separate issue. Approved!

[AntonOfTheWoods]

@wbarnha , can this not get merged without the tests passing, even though the error is unrelated?

[StephenR-Softcom]

Thanks for the Pull Request, I am also waiting for the solution so kafka-python works with Python 3.12.0

[wbarnha]

Sure, I'll make an exception to merge this.

[fcs-ts]

Any chance of getting a point release for this change soon?

[wbarnha]

I'll reach out to Dana to see if I can get the ball rolling!

Hi,

Sorry for jumping on this closed thread, I found it after hitting a similar import issue with six after upgrading to python 3.12 ;) Are there still currently some blocking points preventing to use this package on python 3.10 to 3.12 ? I see that the six package was just one issue, but they might be others (at least for python 3.12).

Not that I know of. Since all tests are now passing for 3.12, I don't see any immediate reason why this wouldn't work. But I should note I personally have not used this on 3.12.

I have successfully used the library with Python 3.11 on Windows in the last release available from pip.

[Romain-Geissler-1A]

Ok, so I will wait for a release to be cut and published through PyPi then. Thanks for your work ;)

[wbarnha]

I apologize for taking so with long with this release. I'm still waiting to hear back from the maintainer. You can directly install from this repository via pip install git+https://github.com/dpkp/kafka-python.git, however I do not recommend making this a normal trend.

@wbarnha Just arrived here after a short journey that took me via https://blog.pecar.me/six-warnings

Could you given an update as to when a release surpassing the current 2020 version 2.0.2 of kafka-python can be expected?

[wbarnha]

Hi there, I'm waiting for PyPi credentials. Until then, I am powerless. We have been trying to get in contact with the author, but he has been unresponsive again. ☹️

[aisven]

@wbarnha Thank you for your reply. Glad to hear you keep trying!

[wbarnha]

Still trying. Thanks for your patience. 🥲

Hi there,
May I know when the release for kafka-python be available for Python 3.11 / 3.12?
Or are there any alternative packages that are equivalent for Python 3.11 / 3.12?

I would also like to 👍 releasing this as I just saw this today in a clean install of ubuntu noble and would prefer to not switch to the other package if this one can be fixed
