Unable to import powerline, is it installed? Windows 10

[boomshankerx]

I'm having an issue with vim-powerline on windows around the time that the latest builds moved to Python 3.11. I've tried reinstalling everything from scratch. All other python plugins are working. Am I missing something or is this a bug.

Windows 10 22H2

VIM - Vi IMproved 9.0 (2022 Jun 28, compiled Jan 6 2023 23:29:39)

An error occurred while importing powerline module.
This could be caused by invalid sys.path setting,
or by an incompatible Python version (powerline requires
Python 2.6, 2.7 or 3.2 and later to work). Please consult
the troubleshooting section in the documentation for
possible solutions.
Unable to import powerline, is it installed?

sys.path

['', 'C:\\Program Files\\Python311\\python311.zip', 'C:\\Program Files\\Python311\\Lib', 'C:\\Program Files\\Python311\\DLLs', 'C:\\Users\\user\\AppData\\Roaming\\Python\\Python311\\site-packages', 'C:\\Program Files\\Python311', 'C:\\Program Files\\Python311\\Lib\\site-packages']

Python CLI

What is interesting is that I can import the offending module manually with no error. Very strange.

in linux, I have to link to it in my PYTHONPATH, ln -s ~/.powerline/powerline > ~./.local/.../site-packages/...

not sure about it not finding unicodedata. I run 3.10.10

The problem seems to have been introduced with Python 3.11 on Windows. I haven't been able to get it to work.
