Error when installing using pip #89

Closed wvanas94 closed 5 years ago

wvanas94 commented 5 years ago

When trying to install the package with pip, I am getting the following error:

$ pip install python-jss Collecting python-jss Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement python-jss (from versions: ) No matching distribution found for python-jss

Cant seem to figure out why. Also, is this package supported by python3?

Try pip2 install python-jss.

At this point it is not supported by Python3. More discussion about that here.

The version of python-jss installed by pip is now very old - v.1.5.0 doesn't work without editing the tls_adapter.py file to cope with new TLS requirements.

Not to say that we won't ever update the version installed via pip, but at this point I would recommend installing python-jss by installing the JSSImporter package. If you're planning to use AutoPkg/JSSImporter at all, it saves having two different copies of python-jss on the system, each with their own preferences.

This puts python-jss at /Library/Application Support/JSSImporter/jss. If you are using python-jss for purposes other than running JSSImporter, you can add this path to your PYTHONPATH in your scripts, e.g.: 

sys.path.insert(0, '/Library/Application Support/JSSImporter')
import jss

Alternatively, put a symlink from /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/, e.g.:

ln -s /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/jss /Library/Application\ Support/JSSImporter/jss

We hope to address any remaining python3 dependencies in the coming months.
