llfuse is broken on python 3.9 due to 2019 llfuse.c

[ThomasWaldmann]

see there: borgbackup/borg#5372

@Nikratio I know llfuse is not maintained any more, but guess the fix to this issue would be to just cythonize llfuse.c with a more recent cython.

Would you do that and release it as 1.3.7 (or would you enable me to do that, alternatively)?

A lot of borgbackup users like borg mount which depends on this and was not yet ported to the pyfuse3 lib.

For our stable branch, such a big change is not advised anyway, but a lot of people use it on bleeding edge linuxes and likely will have a problem on python 3.9 soon.

I've recompiled with Cython 0.29.21 and released a new version. I wasn't able to upload to pypi though:

$ python3 setup.py upload

I've invited you as a contributor to this project. If you have time available to work on this, this would be more than welcome.

Also happy to give you access to PyPi uploads, just let me know what exactly I need to do.

[ThomasWaldmann]

Thanks, I guess I can add twine / use twine to upload the release.

My pypi user name is ThomasWaldmann, you could add me there as additional owner so I could take care of it:
