Error 'xml.etree.ElementTree.Element' object has no attribute 'getchildren' when listing log in Python 3.9.x

[mellotanica]

when accessing a repository log with default_log() function using Python 3.9 an exception is risen, the used function seems to have been removed from xml library:

https://docs.python.org/3.8/library/xml.etree.elementtree.html#xml.etree.ElementTree.Element.getchildren

looking at the master branch code, the issue has already been solved.
yet the latest release package does not work with python 3.9

I have noticed that the fix is not included in the zip or tar.gz file. It is mentioned in the change notes but unfortunately not in the final archive. Can you create a new release which includes the fix? In other words the common.py file in the archives still contains the getchild stuff.

no longer maintained?

Sadly still an issue in python 3.11, package installed via PIP
