Hi, @vsajip Not sure where is better to remind about PR. It would be great if you could look into it

Hi Kirill, sorry I haven't been able to get to it thus far. I hope to be able to review this soon - say by the middle of next week; this week I am very busy on other stuff that is more urgent. Thanks for your patience.

Closing and reopening to re-run stalled checks.

Is this issue resolved with Python version 3.9 as well?

If no, how to resolve this error with Python version 3.9 as I can't upgrade my services with Python 3.11.

It will be really appreciated if someone can guide me on this.

Simplest: Why not copy the handler from 3.11 to your own code and use that?
