Question: Is `dill` compatible with Python 3.11?

I'm trying to migrate project to Python 3.11 and we use pylint that uses dill, but when installing pylons with pipenv I end up with the following entry for dill:

"dill": {
    "hashes": [
        "sha256:a07ffd2351b8c678dfc4a856a3005f8067aea51d6ba6c700796a4d9e280f39f0",
        "sha256:e5db55f3687856d8fbdab002ed78544e1c4559a130302693d839dfe8f93f2373"
    ],
    "markers": "python_version < '3.11'",
    "version": "==0.3.6"
},

Please note the python_version < '3.11'.

At the same time dill project page states it requires Python >= 3.7:

But then checking metadata in PyPi has no mention of Python 3.11:

This well might be the way pipenv works and figures out the requirements, but it surely does not help :)

If dill does support Python 3.11, can we please update metadata and hopefully this will fix pipenv configuration?

The information above is all correct. The latest release of dill was Oct 23, 2022, which pre-dates the release of python 3.11, so python 3.11 is not formally supported in the latest release. That release of dill does, however, work with python 3.11, and formal support came on Oct 25, 2022 (in master), just after the release of python 3.11. What needs to happen is a new release of dill needs to be cut. I had a target release date for the new release, but we slipped past it (I was in hospital). I basically just need some time during the weekend to cut a release, and I've been working non-stop in proposals the past few weeks. A new release is imminent, however. If this doesn't answer your question, then please reopen the ticket.
