Hello everyone.
Droopy, a package I have been using since the days of python2, has unfortunately reached its end of life. As seen below, the reason is the cgi module which is not available on python 3.13. Please ignore the very first line with the syntax warning on each output, it is a sideeffect of python 3.12.There is a relevant issue report on the project's page on github, but it states it will be a hard task to rewrite it without the cgi module.
https://github.com/stackp/Droopy/issues/34
For that reason, the package should either depend on python 3.12 and older or be completely removed from the repo. I vote for the second.
