Pip install fail on Linux

[lucmans]

When tying to install essentia (using pip install essentia in a venv), installation fails on compilation.
I'm using Python 3.12 with pip 24.0.

Excerpt of output:
Building wheels for collected packages: essentia
Building wheel for essentia (pyproject.toml) ... error
error: subprocess-exited-with-error

× Building wheel for essentia (pyproject.toml) did not run successfully.
│ exit code: 1

File "", line 46, in run
IndexError: list index out of range
[end of output]

Furthermore, I get the following warning (also on other available versions):
Discarding https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/bd/10/57da0f50d2a5e1635a463cc6495089f17ee59508e56d8f7ab4e198f7c08c/essentia-2.1b6.dev234.tar.gz (from https://pypi.org/simple/essentia/): Requested essentia from https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/bd/10/57da0f50d2a5e1635a463cc6495089f17ee59508e56d8f7ab4e198f7c08c/essentia-2.1b6.dev234.tar.gz has inconsistent version: expected '2.1b6.dev234', but metadata has '2.1b6.dev0'

Similar error on Windows 11 too, both in virtual env and locally.

Hi, so far the essentia library seems to only work for python 3.11 and lower hopefully this helps. You can try using pyenv to manage multiple python versions.

Currently, there are no Python 3.12 wheels for Linux. We have to rebuild our Manylinux Docker image to add support for 3.12, but there was some issue in the build process. I'll keep you updated.
