Details

Description:
trying to start pymol rise the error:
AttributeError: module 'sys' has no attribute 'setcheckinterval'
pymol doesn't start

Additional info:
* package version(s)
x86_64 Community pymol 2.3.0-4 Molecular visualization system on an Open Source foundation 2020-12-02 2019-05-27

Steps to reproduce:
sudo pacman -Suy pymol
pymol

I commented the line 572 from the file
/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pymol/__init__.py

since the sys.setcheckinterval seems to be deprecated
https://bugs.python.org/issue37392

Then pymol start.

There is still some warning about libtk8.6.so but doesn't seems to be a problem and related.
Maybe the package extra/tk should be a dependency (once installed pymol doesn't complain anymore about libtk8.6)
This task depends upon

This should be solved in the new PyMol version (v2.4.0), as per https://github.com/schrodinger/pymol-open-source/commit/deabfe3f92610a613a6e65e8b462c0dc349e8871

Hi, I have pushed pymol 2.4.0 a few days ago. Can you confirm it fixes your problem? I tried it on my machine when I bumped it and it started fine.
