AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'removeprefix'

Hi! When trying to use md2conf in a GitHub action I am getting this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    id = attachment_id.removeprefix("att")
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'removeprefix'

Is it something I can fix on my end?

The function removeprefix was introduced in Python 3.9. If you have an older version of Python (the error trace says you have Python 3.8), you might need to substitute that function call with a polyfill.

Got it, thank you!

I have added such a polyfill function for removeprefix in the latest commit to master. This will be included in the next release published to PyPI.
