Invalid Escape Sequence
Getting a weird error output at the bottom of every terminal just above the actual powerlineshell on Fedora 39

I have the same issue on Fedora 39, do you have any workarounds?
I had the same issue with python3.12. I've gotten it to work without this error with python3.10 and 3.9.
This is a patch for the __init__.py file in the package. It changes two lines to be compatible with Python 3.12. The lines preceded with - are the old line and the lines preceded with + are the new lines. You could manually type in the changes (which is just adding a r in front of some strings) or use the patch utility to apply the patch for you:
cd powerline-shell
patch -p1 -N < /path/to/fix.patch
And then build as normal.
Alternatively, as this package appears to be no longer maintained, I have switched to Starship.
