Can't pip install meza latest on Fedora 38 (and 37)

[zuzzurro]

Hi

I'm not a python expert at all but I need installing meza on my Fedora laptop. pip install meza fails on Fedora 38 (and 37) with the following message:

> pip install meza

Can you please advise?

Further investigation took me here:

https://discuss.python.org/t/getting-requirements-to-build-wheel-did-not-run-successfully-exit-code-1/30365/2

and it looks like the suggestion works for meza too. Can you still please take a look?

This link is broken. The actual link is here.

This issue is implicated in reubano/csv2ofx#111 and yaml/pyyaml#601.
