Can't install on Debian bookworm with Python >= 3.11

[michela]

Any suggestions on how to install responder on Debian 12.5 / python 3.11.2? I have an old project, responder was working fine with py3.10.6

I've been able to build with tihs workaround

cython = "==3.0.10"
httptools = "==0.6.1"
responder = {editable = true, ref = "e9613500daf2432af5efd4910168112675004d22", git = "git+https://github.com/taoufik07/responder.git"}

Hi @michela,

apologies for the very late reply. We just released v3.0.0.dev0. Can we humbly ask you to test if this improves the situation for you?

• [2025] Releasing version 3.0.0 #578

With kind regards,
Andreas.

Hi. Using this command, as demonstrated in GH-578, it looks like the new package will work on Python 3.8 through Python 3.13.

uv run --with='responder[cli]>=3.0.0.dev0' -- responder --version
