gpodder extras : edit-file-temporary-fix after python 3.11 to 3.12

01 May 2024, 11:23:16

In case this is useful... This seems to fix gpodder, after limited testing, and after the recent Arch/Artix python update from 3.11 to 3.12. A temporary fix while while waiting for an official update from the upstream project and package maintainer...

In case this helps anyone using this great podcast application on Artix...
