--exclude option not working.

I am trying to use the -x option to exclude urls from the tests.
But it yields:

Traceback (most recent call last):

I'm on Kali linux with python3.11.9

Interesting. Can you provide the options you specified ?

I can't reproduce.
I am now running debian 12 and there is not this problem anymore.
I was beforehand on debian also and had this issue untill some point, but can't remember how I had fixed it. Anyway here the installation was straightforward with pip3 install wapiti3.
