Issue with the python upload script garminbadges-updater.py

Image
The python upload script garminbadges-updater.py found here is currently not working.

The issue is being discussed here:  https://github.com/matin/garth/issues/73 Until it is fixed in Garth, released and the user updates the package there is a fix that works. Locate the garth package on your computer. On my Windows machine it is found at this path: C:\Users\[my user]\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python312\site-packages\garth Open the file http.py in a text editor.
