tvnamer: After python3.8 update I receive error

Hi, I recently installed the latest python3.8 update (3.8.13) via pkg (FreeBSD).

Now I receive the following error with tvnamer:

#tvnamer .

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/tvnamer", line 33, in <module>
    sys.exit(load_entry_point('tvnamer==3.0.4', 'console_scripts', 'tvnamer')())

    return next(matches).load()

ImportError: cannot import name '_to_bytes' from 'requests_cache.backends.base' (/usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/requests_cache/backends/base.py)

Unfortunately I am a Python illiterate. Is this a problem with tvnamer?

Many thanks

In Debian 12 i installed the pipx with apt and tvnamer with pipx, according to bellow code

sudo apt install pipx
pipx install tvnamer --include-deps
pipx ensurepath

Thanks!

Many thanks; I’ll contact the maintainer from FreeBSD ports, because their latest tvdb_api version was from a year ago.
