Most changes are in master already, except for https://github.com/OfflineIMAP/offlineimap3/pull/190

I cannot find any working combination of Python and offlineimap. Even the one in MacPorts is now broken. Is there documentation for supported combinations?

[WhyNotHugo]

@fdik The version in master works with Python 3.10. On Alpine we included this patch for Python 3.11 and this other one for Python 3.12.

I suggest that you reach out to the MacPorts maintainers; they may need to include the above patches for recent versions of Python.

Hi,

both patches (@WhyNotHugo) were included. I am running version 3.12 without problems.

Can I close this issue?
