Not sure if it likes new version of python

uname -a 
Linux kali 5.16.0-kali7-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT Debian 5.16.18-1kali1 (2022-04-01) x86_64 GNU/Linux

python3 --version       
Python 3.10.4

Steps to replicate

Literally git clone this repo

cd Interlace  
python3 setup.py install 

when i try to then load interlace it dies

python3 interlace.py

Traceback (most recent call last):

any ideas what im doing wrong here. i have reverted snapshot and tried on a fresh kali vm but no go. seems like interlace dont play ball with the latest python

@prodigysml hey bud, i can confirm interlace isnt playing nicely with the latest python. Taking the temp fix from
pry0cc/axiom#555 (comment) fixes the issue. Seem to be a bug in the latest python?

adding the following line from collections.abc import Mapping to

/usr/lib/python3.10/collections/init.py
/usr/lib/python3.10/collections/__init__.py

[shifty0g]

Thanks for the response. I will give it a go. On my kali I had other versions of python 3.9 which I reinstalled under and changed the first line of interlace,py to #!/usr/bin/python3.9 so it runs nicely. job done. That will teach me for using bleeding edge. :):):)

Thanks for the heads up @0xtavian ! Yeah, that seems like a weird issue with the latest python. I'll see if there is anything we can do to fix this up (maybe changing the data structure we use or something).

[prodigysml]

Ahhh! Its used by our colouring dependency

[prodigysml]

I believe this has been fixed now. With the new version 1.9.7 (when it gets released by @codingo ), we will have removed that dependency entirely, making sure this doesn't happen again!
