FYI: Subliminal 2.2.0 can not be used in Fedora and derivatives.

For compatibility reasons, Fedora uses virtualenv 20.21.1, which requires platformdirs <4,>=2.4, so Fedora uses platformdirs 3.11.0. Therefore Subliminal 2.2.0 can not be installed/used in Fedora (and many other Linux distributions) because the upgraded requirement to platformdirs >= 4.2. Unfortunately Fedora and derivatives use (and will keep using) platformdirs 3.11.0 to keep compatibility with legacy versions of Python.

Details at https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-virtualenv. See the comments in python-virtualenv.spec file.

as we only use PlatformDirs.user_config_path and PlatformDirs.user_cache_dir, i think we can safely drop the requirement to at least platformdirs >= 3

I can confirm, Subliminal 2.2.0 works perfectly with platformdirs 3.11.0. Made rpm package replacing platformdirs>=4.2 with platformdirs>=3.11.

sed -i \
    -e "s|platformdirs>=4.2|platformdirs>=3.11|g" \
    PKG-INFO \
    pyproject.toml \
