Installation error with v0.2.3 on Read the Docs

[sr-murthy]

I got an error while trying to build Sphinx docs for one of my projects on Read the Docs - the docs requirements include sphinxtesters==0.2.3, which failed to install (in a Python 3.12 instance) with the following error:

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

Are you aware of this?

Thanks - and no - I wasn't aware. I've made a new 0.2.4 release to fix this - does it work?

Thanks, fixed now by your update.
