Can't install

[matthewdeanmartin]

I think your setup.py is trying to do to much, maybe it shouldn't attempt to do anything with git or package metadata? Or if this does need a git cloned repo, maybe don't publish it to pypi?

$ pipx install tui-editor
Fatal error from pip prevented installation. Full pip output in file:
    C:\Users\matth\.local\pipx\logs\cmd_2023-01-14_15.26.54_pip_errors.log

pip seemed to fail to build package:
    tui-editor

Some possibly relevant errors from pip install:
    error: subprocess-exited-with-error
    ValueError: not enough values to unpack (expected 2, got 1)
    error: metadata-generation-failed

Error installing tui-editor.

I fixed the pip install now.

I'm not really familiar with pipx though. I get now this message:

$ pipx install tui-editor

No apps associated with package tui-editor or its dependencies. If you are attempting to install a library,
pipx should not be used. Consider using pip or a similar tool instead.

As far as I understand from here, it should have an entry_points section in the setup call. However, this is just a pure library without any entry points. So, I don't think that you should use pipx for this.

Works for me with regular pip:

  Preparing metadata (setup.py) ... done
Installing collected packages: tui-editor
  DEPRECATION: tui-editor is being installed using the legacy 'setup.py install' method, because it does not have a 'pyproject.toml' and the 'wheel' package is not installed. pip 23.1 will enforce this behaviour change. A possible replacement is to enable the '--use-pep517' option. Discussion can be found at https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/8559
  Running setup.py install for tui-editor ... done
Successfully installed tui-editor-1.20230114.224756

It must be some weird Windows-related issue (as I notice you are trying to install it on Windows). Also, I do not expect tui-editor to work on Windows CMD. Maybe it does work on mintty or similar though...

with git or package metadata? Or if this does need a git cloned repo, maybe don't publish it to pypi?

To also comment this: It doesn't need a git cloned repo. It just tries to extract the version automatically.

I assume there is some issue with Windows. I never tested this on Windows. It would be helpful if you could post the log file.

But in any case, as I commented, I think this was already fixed? I don't recall the details anymore. I think I just forget to close this. I'm closing this now, unless there is some new report that pip install is not working.
