No longer works on Python >= 3.10 due to `MutableMapping` moving

[iwsfutcmd]

When attempting to run httpwatcher on Python >=3.10, you get the following error:

AttributeError: module 'collections' has no attribute 'MutableMapping'

This is because in Python3.10, MutableMapping was moved from collections to collections.abc.

issue is in Tornado

how do i solve this?

[Alex-CodeLab]

@giovann997 change the import

   from collections.abc import MutableMapping

or

if sys.version_info.major == 3 and sys.version_info.minor >= 10:

      from collections.abc import MutableMapping
  else:
      from collections import MutableMapping

[jionnyMagiah]

In which file? I've changed '/home/user/.local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/tornado/httputil.py', but it didn't worked

[Alex-CodeLab]

I don't know for sure, because it could be in a venv. I assume the error message tells you where it is?

And make sure it is used correctly, something like

 class HTTPHeaders(collections.MutableMapping)

or

    ....
    # from  collections.abc import MutableMapping
    from collections import MutableMapping
    class HTTPHeaders(MutableMapping)

AttributeError: module 'collections' has no attribute 'MutableMapping'

I tried adding from collections import MutableMapping before class HTTPHeaders(MutableMapping), but shows the same error

You can temporarily fix this by importing httpwatcher like this:

import collections.abc
collections.MutableMapping = collections.abc.MutableMapping
import httpwatcher

NOTE: The order is very important

~~Just updating tornado solves the issue for me~~
