PIP install error

pip add new controls while installing a package. The check with the pypa version and metadata version is triggering here as the pypa declared version is 1.4.0 but the metadata version is 1.0.0.

The metadata version is 1.0.0 because the CI never set this env var PACPARSER_VERSION. Thus, the line https://github.com/manugarg/pacparser/blob/853e8f45607cb07b877ffd270c63dbcdd5201ad9/src/pymod/setup.py#L75 set the metadata version to 1.0.0.

The CI has to set this env to the release version.

@Taknok If I understand it correctly, what you're suggesting is that since there is a mismatch in package version and binary version, pip is trying to rebuild the module. Is that correct?

Actually I looked at the windows whl file here: https://pypi.org/project/pacparser/1.4.0/#modal-close (Just change extension to .zip to examine the file).

Metadata seems correct.

@actuarysailor There are actually two possible reasons for pip to build it from sources:

• You're using win32 and we don't build and distribute a package for win32.
• You're using Python3.11 and there's no package for that.

If it's the latter, i.e. it's just the Python version mismatch, I've just submitted a change to build module for Python 3.11 as well: #141. Here are the binaries for that: Here: https://pypi.org/project/pacparser/1.4.0.dev3/#files

You can install it using:

pip install pacparser==1.4.0.dev3

I could do both: reproduce the issue, and verify the fix.
