I noticed that this guide recommends running python setup.py install directly. That is deprecated, and replaced by e.g. pip install . or something similar. For more info, see:

• https://blog.ganssle.io/articles/2021/10/setup-py-deprecated.html

In particular:

as of the last few years all direct invocations of setup.py are effectively deprecated in favor of invocations via purpose-built and/or standards-based CLI tools like pip, build and tox.
