This reverts commit de35f64158dcc54477de0910516d7f91cc418ee7.
Unfortunately, the mprpc package fails to install with Python 3.11.x most probably because of the changes in Cython.

The solution would be to update the package, but it is no longer developed. The GitHub repository for mprpc project (https://github.com/studio-ousia/mprpc) got archived by the owner on Dec 27, 2022:
NOTICE: This library is not actively maintained. Please consider
using other alternatives such as gRPC.
There are other Python packages for MessagePack RPC than msgpack-rpc-python and mprpc, but they have their own problems.
gRPC is heavily into *.proto files as universal cross-language interface definition, and would require rewriting rb_call
aiorpc is under developed (4 - Beta), and should not to be considered to have a stable API; additionally, the README says that benchmarks show that it slightly underperforms official MessagePack RPC (0.7x slower)
rpc-msgpack claims to be updated version for MessagePack RPC for Python, but its PyPI page (https://pypi.org/project/rpc-msgpack/) is very sparse on details
tinyrpc now supports MessagePack (tinyprc[msgpack]), but it was originally JSON-RPC and ZMQ library; it looks like most actively developed beside gRPC

msgpack-rpc-python (MessagePack RPC for Python) got its last release on Mar 14, 2018 - but as pure Python package has no problems being installed with Python 3.11
lotrpc is in 3 - Alpha, last release from Jan 23, 2020; repo archived on Aug 5, 2023
spyne is transport and architecture agnostic rpc library; last release 2022 but I'm not sure if it is a good match for rb_call: no support for plan RPC
It looks like best replacement would be tinyrpc, assuming that is performance is not worse than msgpack-rpc-python... but it would require some changes (though not as much as switching to gRPC would).
