Support for Python versions higher than 3.8?

I've been using Pyglossary for a while. I'm a conlanger (create my own languages) and I have scripts to take my dictionary and massage it into various formats, among them Stardict. But, once I updated my laptop to Linux Mint 21.1, that came with a newer version of Python, now up to 3.10.6. Pyglossary now throws this error:

unhandled exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/pyglossary/pyglossary/plugins/babylon_bgl/bgl_reader.py", line 31, in <module>
    GzipFile = __import__(
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pyglossary.plugin_lib.py310'

If things didn't work well with BGL files, install Python 3.5 to 3.7 and try again

And if I try to copy the py38 folder in plugin_lib to a py310 folder, it predictably throws other errors:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/pyglossary/./main.py", line 294, in <module>
    Glossary.init()
  File "/usr/local/pyglossary/pyglossary/glossary.py", line 1575, in init
    cls.loadPlugins(join(dirname(__file__), "plugins"))
  File "/usr/local/pyglossary/pyglossary/glossary.py", line 167, in loadPlugins
    cls.loadPlugin(pluginName)
  File "/usr/local/pyglossary/pyglossary/glossary.py", line 279, in loadPlugin
    options = cls.getOptionsFromClass(Writer, format)
  File "/usr/local/pyglossary/pyglossary/glossary.py", line 201, in getOptionsFromClass
    log.trace(f"skipping disabled option {name} in {format} plugin")
AttributeError: 'RootLogger' object has no attribute 'trace'

I know it recommends that I drop back to Python 3.7, but I really don't want to downgrade my version of Python for a variety of reasons. And 3.9 and 3.10 have been out for a while now. Are there any plans to support newer Python versions soon?

That is some weird formatting in my post. Sorry about that. This is literally my first discussion post on github so I've no idea what caused that.

That error has been removed, even in latest release.
Unless it's failing to convert a certain BGL file, you can simply ignore it and use the latest Python version you have.
