TypeError running Fediblock

[roadriverrail]

Hi there!

Trying fediblockhole out, and can't get a dry run off the ground. I was following Oliphant's howto on setting this up, but I'm running into an error running this at all. Can someone point me in the right direction? This is on Python 3.8, for the record.

fediblock-sync -c /opt/fediblockhole/pull.conf.toml --dryrun

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/fediblock-sync", line 5, in <module>
    from fediblockhole import main

    from .blocklists import Blocklist, parse_blocklist

Can you please share the config file you're using?

Happy to. I'm attaching it here. Kindly note I had to add a ".txt" extension to it to make GitHub tolerate it. My co-admin had suggested to me that fediblockhole code looks like it has some Python 3.9-isms in it. Is it possible there's a hard requirement for Python 3.9?

I just came across this on Ubuntu 20.04.6 - the LTS python is 3.8. Installing 3.11 via the deadsnakes repo and creating a venv in /opt/fediblockhole for the environment has run it correctly.

@mabeltron I appreciate the confirmation here. Really, the dependency on Python > 3.8 needs to be documented, enforced, or both.

Unfortunately, for the machine I'm working with, deadsnakes doesn't offer a version higher than 3.8, so I either build from source or start working on an upgrade plan.
