• beetcamp 0.19.1 with Python 3.12.4 on macOS 14.5

I tried on a Linux (Debian 12) VM and it seems to work fine with Python 3.11.. I can't easily downgrade to Python 3.11 on macOS so maybe it's related? 😓

EDIT: Tried a Debian 13 VM with Python 3.12 and it's working so something in my setup must be messed up on macOS...

Thanks for reporting this @eramdam. @ThinkChaos has fixed this issue and the package has now been updated on pypi :)

I hope it fixes it, but there might be other things that trigger 403s for others. Only experience will tell!

[eramdam]

Hell yeah, that seems to work, thanks!
