Vina environment installation error in Conda "Invalid specifier: '>=3.5.*'"

[dnago4]

Hello Been trying to get the 'vina' env set up (Anaconda 2.4.0/Windows10/Ubuntu 20.04 on WSL) per instructions but keep erroring out with the following message:

Version found 1.2.3 (from init.py) error in vina setup command: 'python_requires' must be a string containing valid version specifiers; Invalid specifier: '>=3.5.*'

The executable is fine (can get response with '--version') but can't get the Python package going. In a different package installation I had edited the '>=3.5*' for 'python_requires' to '>=3.5' (multiple scripts) and the installation went fine.

I downloaded the vina-1.2.3-py311hac087fc_2.tar.bz2 archive (that 'pip install' does not process anyway) to try to edit out the offending '>=3.5' but there is no 'setup.py' file, and no occurrence of '>=3.5' in any of the included Python scripts. Apparently, this may not be a fix.

Is there something else I need, or to can be done by editing the archive contents? I wouldn't know how to fix problematic scripts beside mere text editing. Thanks much!

I have the same problem with Google Colab, and Mint 20. Two weeks ago it did work, so maybe it is possible to fix it by downgrading.

This seems to be related to Python version. For me, it installed easily in Python 3.9 but I got this similar error while trying to install vina on Python 3.10 or 3.11. After I downgraded the python to 3.9, it got installed properly.
