Python 3.11 compatability - Dependency Pillow

[pdb-94]

Python 3.11 supports the following Pillow verisons: Pillow >= 9.3
readthedocs Pillow
deutschland 0.3.2 requires Pillow<9.0.0,>=8.3.1

Error message from prompt:
ERROR: pip's dependency resolver does not currently take into account all the packages that are installed. This behaviour is the source of the following dependency conflicts.
deutschland 0.3.2 requires Pillow<9.0.0,>=8.3.1, but you have pillow 9.3.0 which is incompatible.

Hi,

thanks for reporting. Currently the minimum supported Python version is 3.6 and thus the minimum Pillow version is <9.0

Since python 3.6 and 3.7 are end of life, it totally makes sense to bump the minimum required python version to 3.8, which should allow us to also support Pillow > 9 and would fix the error as seen above.

I would support this bump. Our security scanner flags 4 issues with Pillow 8.4.0, which are fixed in Pillow 9.0.1.

Hi @KoenigMax and @pdb-94 ,
Can you have a look if these changes work for you?

Hello, I can only check this properly (as in within our corporate infrastructure), when the changes are available as a version on PyPI. Right now I can only try to install version 0.3.2 which fails because of Pillow<9.0.0.

Isn't it possible for you to install a local version?

E.g.
1.clone this repo
2.switch to the updated branch using git checkout
3. do a 'pip install /path/to/the/downloaded/repo/deutschland'

Hello, thanks for the reminder. I had to resort to downloading a zip of the branch but installing that worked.

Great!

You can also directly install the repo with this command:

pip3 install "git+https://github.com/bundesAPI/deutschland.git@feat/drop-36-37-support"

Thank you for testing this out. Looking forward to hear how it goes.

Hello,

no I cannot, because this usage is suppressed by our network setup. I can Install by pip only from local sources or from pypi.

But as I said, the local install worked.

Kind regards
