Are the test failures due to the mismatch of python version?

It works on some distros (e.g., arch with python 3.12) but not on others (e.g., debian with python 3.9).

#   File "/home/opam/.opam/5.2/.opam-switch/build/dates_calc.0.0.7/_build/default/lib_python/src/dates_calc/dates.py", line 43
#     match month:
#           ^
# SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Don't know if you want to do anything about it. I think it's ok to merge and expect users to manage their python environment (although I'd recommend documenting the requirement somewhere).

Yes, this is pattern matching introduced by a recent Python version > 3.9. I would be in favor of merging as-is please!

@rmonat is there any reason to require conf-python-3 for this package? The functionality of the OCaml package does not depend on Python, if I understand correctly? If an OCaml/opam user wants to use the OCaml dates_calc library, they don't really need Python, right?

If so, I would suggest removing the Python dependency for submission to opam-repository and if the user needs to use the Python version of the package, they can install it using their Python tooling which they would need to manage anyway to ensure they have the required minimum version.
