For the past couple of months, I have been unable to get eyeD3 to run on my RHEL8.8 system without displaying error messages.
Any execution of eyeD3 results in Python errors:
[michael@ares audio_file_maintenance_scripts]$ eyeD3
eyed3.plugins:ERROR: Bad plugin ('mimetype.py', '/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/eyed3/plugins')

pip3 shows that I have eyeD3 version 0.9.2:

Prior to what I assume was a change in the system due to a routine RedHat update a couple months ago, I routinely called eyeD3 from a script that copied tags from a FLAC file to an MP3 file, and there were no errors reported.
Now every instance of eyeD3 displays the error message listed above.
I don't have a lot of familiarity with Python.
Google searches on the error messages also show a similar issue with several versions of RedHat Fedora, so I'm assuming it's something in the RedHat default Python layout that accounts for this, but I haven't yet found an answer for how to resolve it.
