ImportError: No module named setuptools about pyxamstore

[rob-X1]

Have you tried pip3 install setuptools?

[jamalibr]

@rob-X1 I tried
pip3 install setuptools
command as you mentioned and setuptools-69.0.3 got installed successfully.
after that I tried python3 setup.py install command and it showed following error
error: Could not find suitable distribution for Requirement.parse('xxhash==3.2.0')
even though it showed error for python3 setup.py install command I tired next command
pyxamstore unpack -d assemblies/ it showed below message

  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.12/lib/python3.12/site-packages/pyxamstore-1.0.0-py3.12.egg/pyxamstore/explorer.py", line 13, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'lz4'

I am adding my complete terminal window commands and response for your reference.

It seems like your python version on your CPU platform is a bit too new to get certain packages in the version specified in requirements.txt of pyxamstore.

You can try to manually edit requirements.txt and change the version of xxhash and lz4 (see https://pypi.org what versions are available).

To avoid conflicts with other Python software installed I strongly recommend to crate a separate venv for pyxamstore.

Or you use an older Python version. Nobody forces you to use the latest Python version.

@rob-X1 now I am trying with my windows machine which has python 2.7.3

I am getting below ImportError

C:\Users\syed\reverse engg\pyxamstore-master\pyxamstore-master>python setup.py install
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 4, in <module>
    from setuptools import setup
ImportError: No module named setuptools

I used the pip3 install setuptools command and even pip install setuptools too. both commands are responding as below

C:\Users\syed\reverse engg\pyxamstore-master\pyxamstore-master>pip3 install setuptools
'pip3' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
 
C:\Users\syed\reverse engg\pyxamstore-master\pyxamstore-master>pip install setuptools
'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

I have looked the C:\Python27\Tools\Scripts folder mentioned location as well. there is no pip.exe

[rob-X1]

pip3 refers to pip of Python3. If you are running Python2, then pip3 will, of course not work.

BTW. Wen I was talking about not using the latest Python version I was thinking about a still supported version like Python 3.9, 3.10 or 3.11 not the outdated deprecated abandoned version Python 2.x.

Reporting the same for M2 Mac Python 3.12 and latest xxHash available. When I install the dependencies manually it works but the py setup.py install fails.
