Support newer version of Lxml for Python 3.11

[rlaunch]

Lxml vesions < 4.9.0 don't fail to install on Python 3.11. https://bugs.launchpad.net/lxml/+bug/1969912

Currently python3-saml forces the lxml package version to < 4.7.1, which prevents the installation of python3-saml in Python 3.11 environments. I can confirm Lxml builds correctly in Python 3.11 environments when using 4.9.1, however the python3-saml install downgrades this then fails. Attempting to install in Python 3.10 environments works as expected.

@rlaunch Any one is working on this issue? How to work around to this installation?

[sreenivasulureddysura]

May be windows installation failing for lxml that they restricted to 4.7.1 version.
other library failing: streamlink/streamlink#4903

PR for lxml update: lxml/lxml#356

[kleptog]

Near as I can tell it's being worked on, see #320, hopefully new release soon.

Next release will not restrict lxml.

@pitbulk Thanks for taking care of this library! Can you please hint when the next release will happen approximately?

[RossinesP]

I'd love to know too if there is an approximate release date ? Your package is neat, but it's the last one of our dependencies which is not compatible yet.
Is there anything we can do to help you ?
