Python3.9 Installation Issue

[hedonistrh]

Hey @collinb9, I tried to install it with python3.9 and there is an issue. I am not sure py3.9 support is ready or not but just for your information, i am sharing error message. And I am able to install other packages with that pip, just fyi.

→ python3.9 -m pip install understatapi
DEPRECATION: Configuring installation scheme with distutils config files is deprecated and will no longer work in the near future. If you are using a Homebrew or Linuxbrew Python, please see discussion at https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/issues/76621

Thanks for creating the issue. I haven't been able to reproduce the issue with python 3.9.13. I wonder if that deprecation warning at the top of your output is relevant to you? Are you having this issue with other versions of python?

[hedonistrh]

Thanks for your reply. That deprecation warning is related with https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/issues/76621 and that should not break anything. My python version is Python 3.9.13 as well. Also some other people has that issue as well with different packages https://stackoverflow.com/q/59552380. So something can be broken with my pip as well. I'll continue to investigation and come back to you. 🏃

[collinb9]

Yeah I looked at the linked issue and there shouldn't be any problem related to that. Sounds good. If you find that there is an issue with this repo feel free to submit a pull request

Just fyi, able to install version 0.5.2 from pip. Possibly v0.6 related build changes broke something in my pip. I'll continue to investigation and update you later on. 💯

Edit: v0.5.2 one is failing with following so I'll definetely try to solve installation issue of latest version

from understatapi import UnderstatClient

understat = UnderstatClient()

[hedonistrh]

I solved the issue with creating new fresh environment with venv. Now, it is working without any issue. So if anyone would encounter with this issue, can think that something is problematic with one of the installed packages (most likely malfunctioned pip installation) and can check this answer. There is no global solution, so i definitely suggest that use fresh venv if you can do.
