# Week of May 28 - June 3, 2023 in Darker: Python 3.12 compatibility and Mypy improvements

[akaihola]

This week, we focused on improving Darker's compatibility with Python 3.12 and addressing issues related to Mypy. We merged several pull requests to fix compatibility issues and enhance our testing infrastructure.

We addressed Python 3.12 compatibility in our GitHub Action (PR #497) by replacing the use of pkg_resources with pip-requirements-parser. This change was necessary due to setuptools being dropped in Python 3.12. We also fixed multi-line string scanning to work with Python 3.12's new tokenization of f-strings (PR #496). These changes resolve part of the issues reported in #495.

In response to a user-reported issue (#498), we improved Darker's handling of repositories with an __init__.py file in the root directory. The fix (PR #499) ensures that Mypy doesn't produce errors when analyzing such repositories. We also added Mypy as a testing dependency to catch similar issues in the future.

These improvements demonstrate our ongoing commitment to maintaining Darker's compatibility with the latest Python versions and popular development tools. As always, we appreciate the community's involvement in identifying issues and contributing to solutions.
