Fresh "From Source" install. No module named 'zoneinfo'

[Kuzma30]

I just try to compile mimic3 from source on Rpi4 (OS -Yocto B2Qt image v 4.1.1). It compile fine. But when I try run ./mimic3-server in .venv/bin I get

./mimic3-server   
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/root/mimic3/.venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/pytz_deprecation_shim/_compat_py3.py", line 5, in <module>
    import zoneinfo
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'zoneinfo'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

zoneinfo is part of Python starting with Python 3.9, before that you would have to install backports.zoneinfo.

You could confirm if that fixes the issue but in general that would probably need to be added in the setup.py file:

mimic3/setup.py

Line 99 in be72c18

extras_require={':python_version<"3.9"': ["importlib_resources"], **extras_require},

I see things like this sometimes if you haven't upgraded pip inside your virtual environment. After doing that, you may have to also upgrade dateparser
