An error occurred when I was installing via pip

[kuangjy2]

Good day! I am trying to install the latest released version 3.9.12 via pip. But I got an error with the following message. My environment is Windows 10 22H2, Python 3.9.19 in the Anaconda.

I have the same error ... I know that it is going to be fixed in 2.9.13 ... just wondered when that it going to be released to PyPI If it is soon I will wait ... otherwise I will either try and install from source, or go back to the OEM Spyder calibrator software (yuk)

[ohnekopf]

same. is there a reason why the installation of this package has to be that complicated? from what i can tell my installation fails trying to build wxpython from source??

[eoyilmaz]

Oh this is a problem with the tarball that I created, it contains a path "/Users/eoyilmaz/Documents/development/displaycal-py3/CHANGES.html" which is specific to my development environment. I'll fix this in the next release (3.9.13).
