Yeah - my apologies; this is a known issue. The version of versioneer (the tool we use for version control) is unfortunately not maintained past 3.11. This summer (July) we are planning to update our versioning to accommodate this for our relevant packages which will be a long and tedious job. For now the easiest workaround is to create an environment with python 3.11; sorry for this inconvenience, but we are I hope merely weeks from a fix here!

The other option may be (depending on your use case) to use our Google colab version

I am afraid the google collab contain some matplolib errors:
