[Bug 2056101] Re: [noble] Quod Libet doesn't start: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'senf'

[Robie Basak]

Thank you for the fix! I haven't reviewed this in detail, but normally
I'd expect there to be a commit or bug report upstream but I cannot find
one. Is this fixed upstream yet please, and if not, have you sent it
there for review? Looks like that would be here:
https://github.com/quodlibet/quodlibet. We can take the patch into
Ubuntu without upstream, but it would be preferable to ensure it will be
fixed upstream so that we don't need to maintain the patch forever or
worry about the package in Ubuntu getting neglected due to the delta.

Title:
  [noble] Quod Libet doesn't start: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named
  'senf'

Status in quodlibet package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  In Noble, with Python 3.12, Quod Libet refuses to start:

  $ quodlibet
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/bin/quodlibet", line 11, in <module>
      from quodlibet.main import main
    File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/quodlibet/__init__.py", line 21, in <module>
      from .util.i18n import _, C_, N_, ngettext, npgettext
    File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/quodlibet/util/__init__.py", line 28, in <module>
      from senf import fsnative
  ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'senf'

  Judging by a similar Void Linux issue, this seems to be a problem with
  Python 3.12.
