I get the following error when trying to install it using python 3.11:
Collecting whatsapp-python

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Run
pip install whatsapp-python

A successful installation.
Desktop (please complete the following information):
- OS: Linux archlinux 6.5.9-arch2-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC x86_64 GNU/Linux

I'll release a fix for this in a couple of hours. Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for reporting this! 😀
Well well, now I get almost the same error but with the requests module. You can install whatsapp-python directly via github until I manage to solve this issue, I'm sorry for that.
I'm looking for a fix for this. Meanwhile, you can install the package from the test pypi repo using the following command:
pip3 install -i https://test.pypi.org/simple/ whatsapp-python==3.0.2.post1
Cool! Thanks for your quick fix!
