feedparser=5.2.1 does not support the latest version of setuptools

[LGDHuaOPER]

I have been trying to install gitsome using pipx and I kept running into this error.

$ pipx install gitsome
Fatal error from pip prevented installation. Full pip output in file:
    C:\Users\xxx\.local\pipx\logs\cmd_2023-03-07_14.53.57_pip_errors.log

pip seemed to fail to build package:
    feedparser<6.0.0,>=5.2.1

Some possibly relevant errors from pip install:
    error: subprocess-exited-with-error
    error: metadata-generation-failed

Error installing gitsome.

$ cat "C:\Users\xxx\.local\pipx\logs\cmd_2023-03-07_14.53.57_pip_errors.log"

feedparser 5.2.1 is 8 years old. It doesn't support Python 3.6 or higher.

gitsome must upgrade to a newer version of feedparser.
