Hi @ammerscm68
a bit more details would be helpful, like how did you try to install the library and are there any error messages.

Your Installation:
$ pip install fritzconnection
or
$ pip install fritzconnection[qr]
is no longer works under Debian 12 (Bookworm)

"pip3 install fritzconnection" does not work too

pip and pip3 is installed

Fail Message:
error: externally-managed-environment

× This environment is externally managed
╰─> To install Python packages system-wide, try apt install
python3-xyz, where xyz is the package you are trying to
install.

If you wish to install a non-Debian-packaged Python package,
create a virtual environment using python3 -m venv path/to/venv.
Then use path/to/venv/bin/python and path/to/venv/bin/pip. Make
sure you have python3-full installed.

If you wish to install a non-Debian packaged Python application,
it may be easiest to use pipx install xyz, which will manage a
virtual environment for you. Make sure you have pipx installed.

See /usr/share/doc/python3.11/README.venv for more information.

note: If you believe this is a mistake, please contact your Python installation or OS distribution provider. You can override this, at the risk of breaking your Python installation or OS, by passing --break-system-packages.
hint: See PEP 668 for the detailed specification.

and

is not exist a package "python3-fritzconnection" under Debian 12 (Bookworm)

@ammerscm68 : I'm not using debian but it seems to be that the OS does not allow installation of third-party libraries to the system-python as long as these packages are not provided as per 'apt' installabel debian-packages. That's a way to keep the system-python clean.

In this case you have to create a virtual environment (which is recommended anyway) and install fritzconnection by 'pip' in this environment as mentioned by the quote.

Or create a fritzconnection debian package. As far as I know, there is none. But other distributions like gentoo or NixOS and also FreeBSD are supporting such a native package. This is your chance to become a maintainer :)
