Python 3.11

[bigcomposer]

First, I LOVE using Troop with students -- it's so easy to configure and get up and running. We use it exclusively (so far) with Tidalcycles. I appreciate that we spend our time talking about making music together instead of just troubleshooting installs--although there's some value in that too :) Thanks for developing this tool!

I haven't seen it mentioned yet, so I thought I'd create this post. We had trouble when we upgraded to Python 3.11 on Mac systems. Everything is very stable with 3.10.10, but when we went to 3.11, Troop began to crash when clients joined the server. For additional context, we're using a mixture of Mac M1s and Win11 machines.

The problem is that inspect.getargspec (which has been deprecated for a long time) has finally been removed in 3.11. There's one use of that function in src/message.py (line 184) which can be replaced by inspect.getfullargspec to get it to work. That function is also deprecated, so long-term it probably wants replacing with the Signature API, but it will work for now if you just want to get things running.
