Cannot run on Python 3.9.2 #54

Closed covert-encryption closed 2 years ago

covert-encryption commented 2 years ago

Loading of the zxcvbn module fails with missing symbol Match, due to a bug in some Python versions (3.9.2 is broken, 3.9.9 is OK). Upgrading Python is suggested if at all possible.

Avoiding the problem needs changes to zxcvbn that we are hoping the upstream would implement. PR on upstream: https://github.com/dwolfhub/zxcvbn-python/pull/65#issuecomment-989099445

Covert 0.5.4 released with a workaround to this. For the record, the upstream is not reacting, so we intend to keep developing zxcvbn-covert instead and have just released 5.0.1 of it for this and various other bugfixes.
