Description

For now it seems that to successfully install on 3.14 or 3.15-alpha the only necessary update is bumping ruamel-yaml-clib here:

https://github.com/thunderbird/thunderbird-notes/blob/18a0217f103cf8cfef17c30df1c417ebcd445171/requirements.txt#L290

past v0.2.13 — the current one is v0.2.15 and that either has the necessary wheels available, or builds successfully on the few platforms I tried.

(The project doesn't really keep a changelog, but from commit history it seems it's mainly build+packaging and version compatibility changes: https://sourceforge.net/p/ruamel-yaml-clib/code/commit_browser …)

Research direction

Open requirements.txt around line 290 and inspect the ruamel-yaml-clib pin. Update it past v0.2.13, then verify installation on Python 3.14 and, if available, 3.15-alpha across the platforms relevant to the project. Done means the updated requirements install successfully on those Python versions.
