pyctdev is using the toml library vendored by pip, tomli, which pip upgraded from 1.x to 2.x in its 22.1 version. The newer tomli apparently strictly requires to open a file with .load in binary mode (https://github.com/hukkin/tomli#parse-a-toml-file). This broke pyctdev.
Instead of relying on a vendored version of tomli by pip, tomli (>=2) is now a dependency of pyctdev and it will be the case until Python 3.11, which will offer the tomllib module (adapted from tomli, same API then).
