Hello @fridary,

Well version 0.3.14b0 was built before Python 3.11 so that will not work; only the development version.

Unfortunately, you are hiding your source (BBands.py) and the relevant code to replicate this issue, so no further progress can be made. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Kind Regards,
KJ

Error is because of importing attributedict lib. I created issue pypa/setuptools#4692
