Thanks. Looks like a breaking change of some sort in Python 3.9.

[Stefano Volpe]

Same here. Any updates on this?

Could be related to Python no longer supporting Python 2 as of 1 Jan 2020. Python 3.8 was released Oct 2019 and Python 3.9 in Oct 2020, so after the demise of Python 2.

Module gitinspector.localization uses Python 2 functionality in __translation__.install(True), where True is a Unicode flag used in Python 2. In Python 3, this flag is no longer present, so it should be __translation__.install(). This occurs in three places in localization.py (lines 71, 96 and 106).
