Description

ConfigParser's `readfp()` has been deprecated since Python 3.2 and will be removed in Python 3.12 (due October 2023).

• https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/dd0e8a62df8be2a09ef6035b4c92bd9a68a7b918/Lib/configparser.py#L757-L764

 

It is used three times in Subversion.

 

The fix is to replace it with `read_file()` instead.

 

Untested patch attached.
