[linux] Package imp seems to be required for ffmpeg-python but imp doesn't exist on 3.12

[GordonFreemanK]

I am trying to run on my local machine (ubuntu 20.04)

I've run pip3.12 install --user -U -r requirements.txt

But I cannot run it because imp cannot be installed

me@home:~/Upload-Assistant$ python3.12 upload.py

    from imp import reload
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'imp'
None
Missing Module Found. Please reinstall required dependancies.
pip3 install --user -U -r requirements.txt

If I try to install it manually:

me@home:~/Upload-Assistant$ pip3.12 install --user -U imp
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement imp (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for imp

I can install it on 3.10 but the app won't run on 3.10

The incompatibility of ffmpeg-python with python 3.12 seems to be confirmed by this PR and bug

But I might be missing something because the app clearly works in the docker image!

[Audionut]

Try:

pip install --upgrade future

Or patching the library:
nano /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/past/builtins/misc.py

Replace:
from imp import reload
with
from importlib import reload

Or using a different ffmpeg:
pip uninstall ffmpeg-python
pip install imageio[ffmpeg]

Disclaimer: You get to keep whatever is left if it all burns down because you followed the above.

[GordonFreemanK]

Perfect, solved with pip install --upgrade future

Thanks a lot for that, I don't know why I didn't pick that up.
