I recently intalled cfchecker on Ubuntu 22.04:

~> pip install cfchecker
Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable
Collecting cfchecker

However, I am getting the error:

~> cfchecks --help

    class Utime(cftime.utime):

Any idea why / how to fix?

I tried local install from source (latest commit from this github repo), and I get the same issue.

Hi - I think if you upgrade cfunits to the latest (3.3.5) everything should be OK.

@RosalynHatcher - could the requirements perhaps be updated for cfunits >= 3.3.5 and cftime >= 1.6.2 ?

Thanks,
David

(Note: installing from conda in a separate conda env works fine, so I will use this for now, but would be great if the pip install could work too :) ).
