metadata-generation-failed error

[santosrai]

I encountered an error while trying to install a package using pip. The error message is "metadata-generation-failed".

Step to Reproduce

Run the following command in the terminal: python3 -m pip install googlesearch-python

Collecting googlesearch-python
  Using cached googlesearch-python-1.2.0.tar.gz (7.4 kB)
  Preparing metadata (setup.py) ... error
  error: subprocess-exited-with-error

  × python setup.py egg_info did not run successfully.
  │ exit code: 1

note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
error: metadata-generation-failed

× Encountered error while generating package metadata.
╰─> See above for output.

note: This is an issue with the package mentioned above, not pip.

Having the same issue

Hmm, I just pushed this release. Perhaps there is an issue with the wheel

Oh, I believe I was missing a setup.cfg file, been a while since I published a version and apparently this is needed now! Was this the cause of the issue? Try installing version 1.2.1

I just tried installing 1.2.1, still not working

Oh sorry, it seems there was another issue with requirements.txt not being included, I pushed 1.2.2 to fix that, does that work?
