Hello @hurricaneJoef thanks for your work! Is your fork compatible with Python 3.10+ versions or is it exclusive to Python 3.12+ versions?

[hurricaneJoef]

I have not tested it yet on 3.10 but its not using anything specific to 3.12 or 3.11. please let me know if it does work

Sounds good, thanks!

@hurricaneJoef I am not able to install without the fixes in #47, would you be able to pull those in?

The error I get:

  File "/home/francois/development/Ki-nTree/kintree/search/digikey_api.py", line 3, in <module>

@eeintech @hurricaneJoef distutils can still be accessed via the setuptools package: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/77247893/modulenotfounderror-no-module-named-distutils-in-python-3-12

Does anybody here know if there is a fork of this library being maintained that has both these changes and those from #47 merged in?

Thanks

Edit: For now, I am switching to @hurricaneJoef's fork. Here are some commands to do that, in case anyone else wants to:

pip uninstall digikey-api
pip install git+https://github.com/hurricaneJoef/digikey-api.git

That's the one we're using for Ki-nTree

Distutils is gone in python 3.12: https://docs.python.org/3/library/distutils.html, I'm not sure how this is working for you.

To get this working with 3.12 I just used:

`
def strtobool(val):
"""Convert a string representation of truth to true (1) or false (0).

True values are 'y', 'yes', 't', 'true', 'on', and '1'; 
false values are 'n', 'no', 'f', 'false', 'off', and '0'.
Raises ValueError if 'val' is anything else.
"""
    val = val.lower()
    if val in ('y', 'yes', 't', 'true', 'on', '1'):
       return 1
    elif val in ('n', 'no', 'f', 'false', 'off', '0'):
        return 0
    else:
        raise ValueError(f"invalid truth value {val}")

`
The function is only called once in the library so there might be a more eloquent solution.
