Description

@vijayvaradan

Python 3.12.7 was released Oct 7, 2024. When I try running vim with the powerline plugin under a 3.12.7 virtual environment, I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 4, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'powerline'
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

AttributeError: class must define a '_type_' attribute
An error occurred while importing powerline module.
This could be caused by invalid sys.path setting,
or by an incompatible Python version (powerline requires
Python 2.6, 2.7 or 3.2 and later to work). Please consult
the troubleshooting section in the documentation for
possible solutions.

Everything works fine with virtualenvs for Python 3.12.6 and below.
