[ase-users] ase test fails: imp module is deprecated

[Simon Beyer]

Hello ASE community,

I installed ASE on Amazon Web Space according to the installation description and added the ASE path an ASE-GUI path to the according path variables.

When I run 'ase test' or 'python3 -m ase test' I get the following error:
/shared/gpaw$ python3 -m ase test
About to run pytest with these parameters:
    -v
    --numprocesses=4
ImportError while loading conftest '/shared/gpaw/gpaw/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ase/test/conftest.py'.
../__init__.py:7: in <module>
    from distutils.version import LooseVersion
../../../distutils/__init__.py:4: in <module>
    import imp
../../../imp.py:33: in <module>
    DeprecationWarning, stacklevel=2)
E   DeprecationWarning: the imp module is deprecated in favour of importlib; see the module's documentation for alternative uses

Do you know what I have to do in order to get the test running?

Here is the output of 'pip3 list':
/shared/gpaw$ pip3 list
