Requesting information on New Releases for GeoHealthCheck

[AnmolVirdi]

Hi Team,
Wanted to check in if we can expect any new major releases for GeoHealthCheck?
The last major release v0.9.0 was around 2 years ago and has issues with latest python3 [3.12, 3.13] versions.

Sharing an examples:

• paver had its last official release in December, 2017: https://pypi.org/project/Paver/1.3.4/
  There are certain python libraries which paver uses and have been removed or completely refactored. One of those examples:

~/paver$ grep -r "import imp" *
bootstrap.py:    import imp
paver/misctasks.py:import importlib

• Python 3.12 removes imp module PythonCharmers/python-future#625 [Imp is no longer supported]. paver can not support >Python 3.10 versions.
• GeoHealthCheck relies on Paver (dependency for admin tool) these compatibility issues will affect its functionality in environments running Python 3.10 or later.
• GeoHealthCheck will have to refactor their dependency on paver to support newer python variants.

@AnmolVirdi thanks for heads up! We do plan new releases, it is only we have little time. But I can see we need version upgrades. Is there any way you could issue a PR? All help is welcome! @tomkralidis .

Hi @justb4, I'd be happy to take a look at it. Actually, we'll have completely refactor dependency on paver to support newer python variants.

@AnmolVirdi working on this, see #495 and #496 and related PRs. In Ubuntu 24.04 with Python 3.12.3 think still managing with Paver, but Paver needs to be phased out..Hold on..
