With the next release, though it would be good to have a test environment with metplus/3.1.1 to verify it works before installing everywhere.

Other information

There is an import bug in Python 3.10.8 that appears to be resolved with 3.10.12 (see python/cpython#88227) that affects METplus version 3.1.1 (see NOAA-EMC/global-workflow#2091).

Thanks @DavidHuber-NOAA! We should definitely have a test environment early in the process of rolling out.

@DavidHuber-NOAA FYI I'll be addressing this in one of my next PRs (adding cylc).

If there is a test installation at any point, I am happy to test.
