rpaframework not supported using Python 3.9

[weh2017]

I've tried to upgrade Python to 3.9.2 and install the Robot Framework - rpaframework ver. 7.5.0

Error message that I've encountered. "Keyword" not found.

So what I did, I've installed back Python 3.8.6 and rpaframework ver. 7.5.0 and the scripts, it works fine.

Hi, thanks for the report.

We officially only support Python 3.6 to 3.8, and there's an issue for tracking problems with 3.9: #69. However, it should currently work. Keywords not being found would indicate that something didn't install correctly.

Could you answer these questions:

• What operating system are you using?
• What tool are you using to install dependencies?
• Were there some errors during rpaframework installation when running 3.9.2?

If I update python in the conda.yaml to 3.9.2, I get this:

Hi I am also facing the same issue. I've installed Python 3.9 in Win10 x64. I used pip directly.

[osrjv]

@pratapslair, can you share the entire log from pip when you attempt the install?

[pratapslair]

@pratapslair, can you share the entire log from pip when you attempt the install?

I was able to install it with Python38 using Anaconda. the issue is resolved.

[cmin764]

We officially support 3.9.13 Python now.

@pratapslair, can you share the entire log from pip when you attempt the install?
