2 months ago Unfortunately it doesn't support import in Obs80 format; I'd like to add that functionality when I have a chance.
I haven't tested on Astropy 4.1.3; if I were to guess, I think it will work okay. It's possible that the image query won't work correctly. I'm not sure why pip isn't giving you a newer version. You could ask for it with pip install astropy==5.2 but I'm guessing that it's detecting a conflict elsewhere and that's why it's not giving you a newer version. I know it spits out a lot of text, but there might be a hint in that text that's telling you what's going on.
So I haven't tested inter-night linkages, but I think it should work if the data is clean enough. However, as it is, FindPOTATOs relies on length-three track lets. It can't handle linking nine detections. But you could pick combinations of tracklets to do your linking, for example if your sets look like this night 1: [1a, 1b, 1c] night 2: [2a, 2b, 2c] night 3:[3a, 3b, 3c]
you could try to use the code on something like 1a, 2a, 3a
You'd of course then want to check with the full nine observations that they form a reasonable link, but maybe this would help you quickly identify a subset to test.

[FROM AN EXTERNAL SENDER]
1 Does the input observation file format supported by this program include a script to convert observation files in Obs80 format? (For example, Atlas' Puma includes one.)
2 I get an error when installing dependencies that I don't have Astropy 5.2, but when I upgrade Astropy with pip, it only updates to about 4.1.3. Do I need 5.2? Am I doing something wrong with the update procedure?
3 I understood from the Exemple data that the software can be used to create a tracklet for an object observed multiple times in one night, connecting each observation. Is it possible to link observations spanning multiple nights to obtain a three-night link sufficient to submit to Identification's MPC? In other words, I want to create one object tracklet from three tracklets instead of one tracklet from three observations.
