Cannot load with Python version 3.8.10

Most important, I am not a python developer. I use mkdocs to produce documentation.

The error I get is:

vaonet@chat-vaonet-com:~/internal-docs-server/site/admin-help$ mkdocs serve --dev-addr 192.168.1.111:3333

I have another machine that is running Python 3.6.9 and it works there with dep warnings.

administrator@extDocsSvr:~/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/markdown/extensions$ python3 -m markdown --noisy -x iconfonts
Successfully imported extension module "iconfonts".

Successfully loaded extension "iconfonts.IconFontsExtension".

Any suggestions other than reverting to 3.6.9?

@vaonet-jks This project hasn't seen any love to ensure compatibility for new Python versions. Any existing compatibility is just a happy coincidence.

Anything I can do to entice a fix?

@vaonet-jks I'm not interested in making a fix but feel free to submit a pull request.
