#2 NameError: name 'Str' is not defined

[John Vandenberg]

setup.py fails on Python 3.8

I guess _ast doesnt have Str any more.
Probably your template is already updated to fix this.

Docs say

Deprecated since version 3.8: Old classes ast.Num, ast.Str, ast.Bytes, ast.NameConstant and ast.Ellipsis are still available, but they will be removed in future Python releases.

Changing the import from _ast to ast might fix it, but only temporarily until a future release.

[Anthon van der Neut]

I guess nobody (including me) uses the tar.gz instead of the wheel.

Please close this if 0.8.3 solves this issue
