cqi.parse_qs deprecated

[gilleslandais]

Hello -
thank you for your library - very useful !

I report an issue that I discover recently after an ubuntu migration from bionic to focal which migrates python3.6 to python3.8.
I installed pyoai, but there is a problem with oaipmh/server.py that uses cgi.parse_qs:

AttributeError: module 'cgi' has no attribute 'parse_qs'

It seems that the method is deprecated - see eventlet/eventlet#580

Thank for your development,
Gilles Landais

Hello
And many thanks for all efforts from my side as well!

I bumped into the same issue, I think this was fixed in version 2.5.1, but there is no wheel or tar.gz on pypi, as mentioned in #54 . So I am unable to install verison 2.5.1 with either pipenv or pip.
Is there anyone still working on this project? A fix would be highly appreciated.

Best regards
Gaby Leuenberger

Hi @gilleslandais, a note for anyone still running into this: I work at ETH Library Zurich and recently released oaipmh, a maintained fork that brings it onto current Python and tooling. Our README covers what was changed and the reasoning behind it.

The fork no longer imports from cgi, which should address the issue you describe.

The package is published on PyPI; the public API remains unchanged, so migrating is just a matter of swapping the existing dependency.

good new :)
I will test your fork in my next release

Thank !
