@jheeree commented on GitHub (Aug 25, 2021):

That error occurs because the "decodestring" function is deprecated. Now corresponds to "decodebyte" (ref: https://docs.python.org/3/library/base64.html).

The way I was able to fix it was changing directly in the library as follows:
sed -i 's/base64.decodestring/base64.decodebytes/g' /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/feedparser.py

Hi ! @Guezone ,

The solution provided by @jheeree works.

The deferred path on my side.

sed -i 's/base64.decodestring/base64.decodebytes/g' /usr/local/lib/python3.9/dist-packages/feedparser.py

For info I am on docker der my side with the Dockerfile provided on Github.
