hi, I'm trying to get excalbur to work in ubuntu but get below error. Gemini AI suggests: "The error message you're encountering with excalibur initdb suggests there's a compatibility issue within the excalibur package. It seems the package relies on the MutableMapping class from collections, which has been removed in Python 3.10 and above."

(excalibur) xxx:~$ excalibur initdb Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/rupert/anaconda3/envs/excalibur/bin/excalibur", line 5, in from excalibur.cli import cli File "/home/rupert/anaconda3/envs/excalibur/lib/python3.12/site-packages/excalibur/cli.py", line 7, in from . import version, settings File "/home/rupert/anaconda3/envs/excalibur/lib/python3.12/site-packages/excalibur/settings.py", line 10, in from . import configuration as conf File "/home/rupert/anaconda3/envs/excalibur/lib/python3.12/site-packages/excalibur/configuration.py", line 7, in from backports.configparser import ConfigParser File "/home/rupert/anaconda3/envs/excalibur/lib/python3.12/site-packages/backports/configparser/init.py", line 130, in from collections import MutableMapping ImportError: cannot import name 'MutableMapping' from 'collections' (/home/rupert/anaconda3/envs/excalibur/lib/python3.12/collections/init.py)
