Python 3.11 Support

[aidenhammond]

Hey,

My team ran into some issues trying to run this with Python 3.11. I'm not sure if that is known/expected. Can anyone confirm whether or not there is Python 3.11+ support?

Thanks

this is very old software that is not being maintained, i think. @godber please confirm. Please tell us what you want to do and we can point you to working alternatives.

Yeah, I doubt anyone has looked at this in 10 years, I can archive the project if you like.

i think that's best. Like I said @aidenhammond let us know your use case then we can point you to a tool, but for a start, if want to read almost any planetary dataset, at least if it's archived on the PDS or PSA, then you can use the planetary data reader "pdr". installable via conda and pypi pip

We're running a fork of HORUS which uses this, we don't use it directly. I believe its being used solely for .cub file IO, though I don't have all the details. I can reach out to the folks working on HORUS with a suggestion if you have one, that would be great. Thanks!

What is HORUS?

Edit: And which variant of .cub format? Does your use require only reading them, or also writing valid .cubs?
