Python 3.10.8

[zenspider]

I'm getting the exact same error but with python 3.11 (installed via homebrew)

[aspiers]

Not abandoned! But haven't had the need to work on it recently. I just submitted #118 which should fix some issues but probably not the one listed here yet. However I note that Travis CI is no longer free so we need to transition to GitHub Actions to get working CI again.

[aspiers]

I note that you are using the released version 1.1.0 on PyPI. Can you try with the tox-py311 branch in #118 instead?

[aspiers]

I filed #119 about the Travis CI issue.

[zenspider]

I can't find it now. But I found a pip command to downgrade pypandoc (or something) to get past this error.

[mmz-zmm]

use pip install -U pypandoc==1.7.0 to skip this error.
