Same here, after changing python from 2.9 to 3.9 and reinstalling offlineimap I get the same error on Gentoo (.offlineimaprc did not change). Version: offlineimap v7.3.4, imaplib2 v2.101 (bundled), Python v3.9.13, OpenSSL 1.1.1q 5 Jul 2022

This version of OfflineIMAP is compatible only with Python 2

You can find the Python 3 version here : http://github.com/OfflineIMAP/offlineimap3

Really @mbucas ? The offlineimap -V from @robertvalik shows Python v3.9.13. Am I wrong to read that as evidence that he's reporting this error from offlineimap3? Isn't the executable for offlineimap3 also called offlineimap?

@valir or @robertvalik , did either of you diagnose this? I'm getting the same error (and on a quite different setup: on macos, with offlineimap set up for oauth).

UPDATE: just confirmed that I'm getting this identical error despite using offlineimap3 (this build)

I was getting this issue with the offlineimap3 currently available on pip (offlineimap v7.3.4, imaplib2 v2.101 (bundled), Python v3.8.8, OpenSSL 1.1.1k 25 Mar 2021) but don't get it through the one available from another package manager (macports; offlineimap v8.0.0, imaplib2 v3.06, Python v3.10.10, OpenSSL 3.1.0 14 Mar 2023).

Since all three of us reporting this issue had it on v7.3.4, and it seems to be gone on a more recent version, it may be that this issue has been fixed in the code and will stop being encountered by users once the version available on pip is updated.

@enfascination mcubas did point out that this repo is for older offlineimap for python2 and not for the py3 offlineimap. After that I have opened an issue in the offlineimap3 repo - issue 133 and I have abandoned it after migrating to isync.
