After figuring out that I didn't read your initial post carefully enough 
I applied the patches to the mididings repo myself and created a fork:

The application starts here now on Archlinux with Python 3.10. I can't 
test more than that as of now, unfortunately. If you encounter further 
errors please feel free to provide me with a patch file and steps to 
reproduce, then I'd gladly give a try to fix them here.

Sorry for not being more attentive to begin with, I hope this helps.

Disclaimer: I do not plan to maintain this in any way, but maybe I can 
help getting the version to run with the current Python and potentially 
someone else can integrate the changes into their fork or something.

Best,
Patric
