Import error from PyInquirer due to too old prompt_toolkit or too new Python version (3.11) #1

Hi! I'm trying to use this wizard client on our Arch Linux servers which runs latest Python (3.11) and generally latest dependencies possible, but the tool appears to be dependent on an older Python version or an older library.

After installing PyInquirer and paramiko and running the script, I get this import error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/src/PUSH_Clients_Wizard/app.py", line 7, in <module>
    from modules import _utils, manage_checks
  File "/usr/local/src/PUSH_Clients_Wizard/modules/_utils.py", line 9, in <module>
    from PyInquirer import prompt, Validator, ValidationError

    from collections import Mapping
ImportError: cannot import name 'Mapping' from 'collections' (/usr/lib/python3.11/collections/__init__.py)

A quick Google search shows people saying that their script simply needs to be updated (I'm guessing prompt_toolkit), or downgrade Python version: https://stackoverflow.com/a/70557518

I figured I could just update prompt_toolkit but this introduces another import issue:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/src/PUSH_Clients_Wizard/app.py", line 7, in <module>
    from modules import _utils, manage_checks
  File "/usr/local/src/PUSH_Clients_Wizard/modules/_utils.py", line 9, in <module>
    from PyInquirer import prompt, Validator, ValidationError
  File "/root/.local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/PyInquirer/__init__.py", line 6, in <module>
    from prompt_toolkit.token import Token
ImportError: cannot import name 'Token' from 'prompt_toolkit.token' (/usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/prompt_toolkit/token.py)

So in short, the tool needs to be updated to support newer Python versions which also includes updating the dependencies.

Python -V for ref:

python -V
Python 3.11.5

Hello,

It looks like the library PyInquirer is no longer supported and is known to not work with newer versions of Python. We are looking into other options for a replacement.

This issue is now resolved with the 1.1.0 release. PyInquirer was replaced with InquirerPy to restore functionality in newer Python versions.
