Cannot install Eclipse plug ins with release 3.3 LTS about idf-eclipse-plugin

[igrr]

Sorry, at the moment the plugin supports IDF 4.x. We will update IDF 3.3.x to include features required by the plugin in the future.

******** Please disregard. It turns out that the subprocess lib I installed was then causing a problem. Once I remove it with "pip uninstall subprocess.run" I could relaunch the tools install and this time completed properly. Apologies for the waste of time ***********

************** disregard *******************

Thanks for the prompt answer, but there is still the same problem even with 4.0. As I said, I copied all the relevant files from 4.0, but still had errors.

Anyway, I downloaded 4.0-beta1, the officially suggested 4.0 build, rerun on a clean slate. Same missing module in Python (which is something many users without that module will face; the module is not installed by default in Python Windows)

And same error at the end (I removed all the download % from the console), see below

I'd be happy enough to enter the environment settings by hand, if needed, but while some names re listed, there's no details on how to set them

Installing tools...
This can take a while. Please be patient.
