System Specifications

Python: 3.11

Manim: v0.17.3

OS: Windows 10

Solution

There is no problem with your manim version and your python version. The problem is with IPython version. You need to install this version of IPython:

pip install IPython==8.0.1

I downgraded IPython to 8.0.1 and the code worked pretty well. Below picture shows the result on my machine:
