@Dome-GER Please do not merge pull requests. There are no unit tests at all. And if a library changes, than the source code can entirly break. But you will only recognize it when the code is deployed to production!

It would be scary if bumping a static code analyzer breaks something in the application. ;) But I'm happy to leave it to someone else.

E.g. There is the pull request: #4
That changed the python version from 3.9 to 3.12 in the Dockerfile

I tried to build a docker image (via github action) but it failed:

#14 2.925           long_description = open(os.path.join(BASE_PATH, 'README.rst'), 'U').read()
#14 2.925                              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The 'U' flag is depricated since python 3.1 but was removed in python 3.11. This time the build failed, since this code is part of the setup prcedure.
Can you imagine what happens if a arbitrary python library in the Pipfile.lock changes? A function/method may changes but not the call. And since there are no unit test, the docker image will be created and deployed to production. Only then the error will occur.
