Newest setuptools (from v69.0.0) breaks package about axidraw HOT 8 CLOSED

We're pushing a minor update (v 3.9.5) to cover this (along with a few other bug fixes).

Here's the package ahead of formal release:
python -m pip install https://cdn.evilmadscientist.com/dl/ad/public/395/AxiDraw_API_395.zip

from axidraw.

Some tips for when you start looking into it @oskay:

If you add
requires = ["setuptools >= 40.6.0, <69.0.0"]
instead of
requires = ["setuptools >= 40.6.0"]

in cli/pyproject.toml (line 48), I think the issue should be resolved for the current package setup with setup.py for dynamic dependencies (this solution forces "setuptools" to be less than the breaking "setuptools" version I mentioned above, which ignore dynamic dependencies in setup.py). I have tested this by doing:

wget https://cdn.evilmadscientist.com/dl/ad/public/AxiDraw_API.zip

and then adding

requires = ["setuptools >= 40.6.0, <69.0.0"]

inside the downloaded cli/pyrpject.toml, and can verify that we get a successful install (upon doing "pip install .").

I can both do:

from pyaxidraw import axidraw
and
python3 -m axicli

successfully.

Thanks; we'll take a look.

Came to report the same issue. While not pulling in the module for a custom script, calling the axicli command fails.
zsh: command not found: axicli. When I try to call it with python3 -m axicli, I get a similar output:

I'm wrapping up a different project but hope to get a chance to look at this in the coming week. One person reports that they were able to get it to install by first using pip install prebuilt_dependencies/*, in the unzipped download.

Oh interesting! I'll give that a shot. Thanks @oskay

Just wanted to report that this method worked.

• cd into API dir
• pip install prebuilt_dependencies/*
• pip install .
• I opted to add alias axicli="python -m axicli" to my .zshrc file on my rpi4. zsh complained that the axicli command was not found otherwise.

Great, thank you!
