Bug#1028084: guidata FTBFS with Python 3.11 as default version

Followup-For: Bug #1028084

Dear Maintainer,

Maybe some good news:

It's possible that the Debian janitor has already taken care of the tasks
required to fix this failure, if the following analysis is correct:

- Upstream version v2.3.1 includes Python 3.11 compatibility[1]

- The janitor has upgraded to v2.3.1[2]

- A patch-refresh build against v2.3.1 failed[3] due to a python3-spyder bug

- The python3-spyder bug[4] has recently been fixed

If so, perhaps a refresh of the Salsa CI pipeline and/or re-build of the
package may clear the way to close this bug.

Thanks,
James
