error with python 3.11

[Filipe G. Vieira]

I am using csvkit through conda to reorder some columns in a TSV file:

csvcut -t -c 12,1-10 input.tsv | csvformat -T > output.tsv

and it all works well with python <=3.10, but I am getting an error when using python 3.11:

Since csvkit does not seem to be compatibe with python 3.11, shouldn't the python version be specified on the conda-forge recipe?
thanks,

[James McKinney]

Please upgrade agate (pip install -U agate) to 1.6.3 or 1.6.2. You are using a version from before 2020.

[Filipe G. Vieira]

Since I installed csvkit through conda, shouldn't a minimum version specification for agate be specified in the conda recipe?

[James McKinney]

I don't maintain the conda recipe. You will have to address this issue to the conda maintainers.
