Hey @brolime, this is actually an hdl-checker package issue that has to do with newer versions of Python trying to leverage deprecated APIs.

If your end goal is primarily installing and using the package, you can bypass mason entirely try cloning the repository directly, applying the fix listed here in versioneer.py, and install with pip install ./<cloned_repo>.

[ChausseBenjamin]

For anyone looking for a temporary fix while hdl-checker fixes this upstream, you can do the following:

• install python3.11 (python311 in the AUR for arch users)
• install pipx
• run pipx install hdl-checker --python python3.11

Once upstream gets fixed, just pipx uninstall hdl-checker and let Mason manage the installation.
