Python 3.13.1: No module named 'imp'

[autext]

i'm using python 3.13.1, and i have encountered a compatibility issue, i think.
when I run 'thefuck', it reports an error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<frozen runpy>", line 198, in _run_module_as_main
  File "<frozen runpy>", line 88, in _run_code

I'm facing the same issue with the same Python version.

Same here, python 3.12.8

Since Python 3.12 has removed the imp module, a possible solution is to either use Python 3.11 or replace the imp module calls with importlib. With this link, the imp.load_source() should be replaced with

import importlib.util
import importlib.machinery

def load_source(modname, filename):
    loader = importlib.machinery.SourceFileLoader(modname, filename)
    spec = importlib.util.spec_from_file_location(modname, filename, loader=loader)
    module = importlib.util.module_from_spec(spec)
    # The module is always executed and not cached in sys.modules.
    # Uncomment the following line to cache the module.
    # sys.modules[module.__name__] = module
    loader.exec_module(module)
    return module

Thanks a lot @wandleshen surely helps me a lot!

You need a more recent version of thefuck that supports 3.12 (or 3.13 in my case).

While waiting for a newer version to be on PyPi, and instead of downloading and extracting this repo you can :

pip install git+https://github.com/nvbn/thefuck.git

Tested on 3.13 (windows)
