What happened?

Hi, i installed Gradience in Arch Linux but it didn't open, i just have this error:

gradience
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/yapsy/PluginManager.py", line 132, in <module>
    import importlib.abc.Loader as imp
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'importlib.abc.Loader'; 'importlib.abc' is not a package

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

  File "/usr/bin/gradience", line 70, in <module>
    from gradience.frontend import main
  File "/usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/gradience/frontend/main.py", line 37, in <module>
    from gradience.frontend.views.plugins_list import GradiencePluginsList

    from yapsy.PluginManager import PluginManager
  File "/usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/yapsy/PluginManager.py", line 134, in <module>

This is related to #890, that workaround seems to do the job for now in Arch.

I have a similar behaviour, but with the yapsy package
gradience
Traceback (most recent call last):

I can confirm that the aur package gradience-git is broken. python-yapsy is no longer available. I removed the package and dependencies, and reinstalled using the alternative python-yapsy-git. Here is my log.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/gradience", line 70, in <module>
    from gradience.frontend import main
  File "/usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/gradience/frontend/main.py", line 24, in <module>
    from material_color_utilities_python import hexFromArgb
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'material_color_utilities_python'

The suggested temporary fix of installing python-zombie-imp has no effect.
