Bug#1025194: tpot: (autopkgtest) needs update for python3.11: module 'inspect' has no attribute 'getargspec'

Severity: serious

Dear maintainer(s),

We are in the transition of adding python3.11 as a supported Python 
version [0]. With a recent upload of python3-defaults the autopkgtest of 
tpot fails in testing when that autopkgtest is run with the binary 
packages of python3-defaults from unstable. It passes when run with only 
packages from testing. In tabular form:

                        pass            fail
python3-defaults       from testing    3.10.6-3
tpot                   from testing    0.11.7+dfsg-4
all others             from testing    from testing

I copied some of the output at the bottom of this report.

Currently this regression is blocking the migration of python3-defaults 
to testing [1]. https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.11.html lists 
what's new in Python3.11, it may help to identify what needs to be updated.
