AttributeError: module 'base64' has no attribute 'encodestring'

Hi, while using it with Python 3.10.9 from pyenv. I got the follow error:

[ERROR] 
Traceback (most recent call last):

Seems the problem is from binstar_client and they are not Python 3.9 or above compatible. I am not sure where this dependency is coming from so I have no idea how to fix this. Would be great if you can advice.

With further investigation, seems the code provided in the binstar_client in this repo correctly encounters the version compatibility but somehow the version I have is 1.2.2 which has not encountered this problem. I guess there have not been more updated releases on PyPI?

Uninstalled and reinstall with pip install git+https://github.com/Anaconda-Server/anaconda-client then encounter ERROR: No matching distribution found for conda-package-handling>=1.7.3 Is conda the only way to install it properly right now?

Is this still an issue?
