Details

Description:
In Python 3.11 `bind_textdomain_codeset` has been removed (https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.11.html#removed), but the current release of hamster still uses it. It has already been fixed on their master version with commit: https://github.com/projecthamster/hamster/commit/b155ad533f45f0bf4f10a290ad5374c805b692e9

Additional info:
Console output:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/hamster", line 415, in <module>
i18n.setup_i18n()
File "/usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/hamster/lib/i18n.py", line 24, in setup_i18n
module.bind_textdomain_codeset('hamster','utf8')
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: module 'gettext' has no attribute 'bind_textdomain_codeset'

Steps to reproduce:
1. update arch so you get python 3.11
2. start hamster

This issue was already resolved on the project's main branch: https://github.com/projecthamster/hamster/commit/b155ad533f45f0bf4f10a290ad5374c805b692e9
Commenting out line 24 in /usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/hamster/lib/i18n.py can be a temporary local hack to get hamster to start again.
