Error in library 'RemoteSwingLibrary': Adding keyword

Libraries
1

I am running in Ride and it shows the following error:

Error in library ‘RemoteSwingLibrary’: Adding keyword ‘system_exit’ failed: Calling dynamic method ‘get_keyword_arguments’ failed: AttributeError: module ‘inspect’ has no attribute ‘getargspec’
…
TestRunnerAgent: Running under CPython 3.11.4

The code:

*** Settings ***
Library OperatingSystem
Library RemoteSwingLibrary
Library Process

*** Test Cases ***
Prueba002
[Timeout] 3 seconds
Start Application app javaws "C:\programas\RIDE\app\SimpleTableDemo.jnlp timeout=10s remote_port=12345 remote_host=127.0.0.1

What could be happening?

I think it may be some incompatibility with python 3.11.
I tried to run the example in the project page, and this is the errors I get:

getargspec has been deprecated for python 3 and probably now removed… There’s also a bug report about this in remoteswinglibrary github.

You could either fix the issue to use getfullargspec or downgrade your python…

What version of Python do you recommend?

getargspec has been removed in 3.11 alpha 2 – anything older ?
