Bug#1008014: python3-blinker: DeprecationWarning with Python 3.10: invalid escape sequence '\*'

[Julian Gilbey]

Package: python3-blinker
Version: 1.4+dfsg1-0.4
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

I am getting the following warning:

../../../../../../../../../../usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/blinker/base.py:93
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/blinker/base.py:93: DeprecationWarning: invalid escape sequence '\*'
"""Connect *receiver* to signal events sent by *sender*.

and two other similar ones.

Upstream have fixed this (https://github.com/jek/blinker, commit
https://github.com/jek/blinker/commit/194e17a20008bd778714182ac191ad654074f81c
on 28 Oct 2020) but have not officially released a new version of the
package.

Perhaps you could either cherry-pick this fix, or upload the current
GitHub version of the package?

Best wishes,

Julian
