   It is now a blocking bug:

   $ pip freeze
   humanfriendly==10.0
   
   $ humanfriendly
   Traceback (most recent call last):
     File "/venv/bin/humanfriendly", line 5, in <module>
       from humanfriendly.cli import main
     File "/venv/lib/python3.13/site-packages/humanfriendly/cli.py", line 82, in <module>
       import pipes
   ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pipes'
   
   $ cat /etc/os-release
   PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 13 (trixie)"
   NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
   VERSION_ID="13"
   VERSION="13 (trixie)"
   VERSION_CODENAME=trixie
   DEBIAN_VERSION_FULL=13.7
   
   $ python -V
   Python 3.13.5
   

   Can we expect a fix ?

   humanfriendly is a dependency of coloredlogs - since there is no activity of the developer since 2024, I dont think its gonna happen - thats why I wrote my own logging library - anyone interested can check out https://github.com/bitranox/lib_log_rich

   Enjoy vibrant Rich-style colored console output with clean formatting.
   Tailor colored (or monochrome) logs with flexible templates and themes, while your OS takes care of persistence.
   Forget about manual logfile rotation.
   Export logs as JSON, HTML or plain text whenever you need.
   Send events to journald, Windows Event Log, or Graylog with ease.
   Get optional OpenTelemetry integration for deeper observability.
   Configure logging per app/user/host via configfile or environment
