## Description:

This update for python311 fixes the following issues:

  * CVE-2024-6923: Fixed email header injection due to unquoted newlines
    (bsc#1228780)

Other fixes: \- %{profileopt} variable is set according to the variable
%{do_profiling} (bsc#1227999) \- Stop using %%defattr, it seems to be breaking
proper executable attributes on /usr/bin/ scripts (bsc#1227378) \- Make pip and
modern tools install directly in /usr/local when used by the user (bsc#1225660)
