WebOb dependency: DeprecationWarning: 'cgi' is deprecated and slated for removal in Python 3.13

[perseoGI]

Feature Request

WebTest depends on WebOb>1.2, which internally uses the cgi module, deprecated in Python 3.13. Python 3.14 is now available, and this module is also not included.

We are using WebTest internally in our organization's test suite, and this issue is blocking our progress to newer Python versions.
I understand that this issue is not directly related to this project. There is an open issue at WebOb Pylons/webob#437, but it seems to be inactive.

Is your feature request related to an issue? Please describe.

Yes, when running our tests, this warning constantly appears:

webob/compat.py:5: DeprecationWarning: 'cgi' is deprecated and slated for removal in Python 3.13
    from cgi import parse_header

This simple program is not able to run in Python >= 3.13

from cgi import parse_header
parse_header('')

Describe the solution you'd like

Contact WebOb organization directly as this project is a main consumer and try convincing them to fix this issue ASAP

Describe alternatives you've considered

Consider using a different backend with similar capabilities as WebOb

There is nothing to do here. Looks like you can pip install legacy-cgi to fix your problem:
