pyLODE fail, GitHub action. New version rdfLib at fault?

[smrgeoinfo]

I have a github action set up to run pyLODE on the ttl in my github repo. Last week it worked; when I did a push today I got an error on the action. looking at the logs, the difference seems to be this:

works (last week):

Doesn't work (today)

then:

any ideas?

You are right, problem is that rdflib is not pinned to 5.0.0.

Workaround:

pip uninstall rdflib
pip install rdflib==5.0.0
