• v1.0.3 :

pip3 install solc-select installs solc-select-1.0.3 solc-select install just prints Available versions to install: and the cursor keeps on blinking unless I hit Ctrl+C solc --version throws argparse.ArgumentTypeError: No solc version set. Runsolc-select use VERSIONor set SOLC_VERSION environment variable. error None of the commands result into any output. The cursor keeps on blinking

• Similar issue with v1.0.0

• There is no issue with v0.2.0. Everything works as expected.
