Python 3.14 incompatibility

[anakin87]

Hello, and sorry for opening the issue here but did not find a better place.

ibm-watsonx-ai fails to import on Python 3.14 due to the removal of Enum.__init__ in CPython (python/cpython#128081).

Example

! pip install ibm-watsonx-ai
python -c "from ibm_watsonx_ai.foundation_models import ModelInference"

Error

Traceback (most recent call last):

I'd appreciate to have a Python 3.14 compatible release soon 🙏

@muety if you know a better place to report this incompatibility, feel free to do so.
Apparently, IBM guys do not monitor issues on this repo.

This patch did resolve the issue for me, but an official release would be great ...

fix_py314.patch

@anakin87 I once successfully reported an issue by sending an email to the maintainer contact information given on the respective project page on PyPI, I'll try that for now
