  I'm afraid it seems our python maintainer has no spare time to work on 
this at the moment, so I don't think any progress has been made on this.

So, any assistance would be welcome.

As a first step:

* Investigating the hang problem(s?) reported with the python3 3.9.18 
package and coming up with a solution would be very helpful.

* I suspect the same problem also exists in 3.10+. Confirming or denying 
that hypothesis would also be useful.
