setuptools >=66 causing error on pip install; package naming convention ('0.23ubuntu1') must be changed

I received the following error (below) when installing, both via PyPi and the github clone methods.

I believe it may be related to this noted error, which regards PEP440 enforcement in newer versions of setuptools (>=66): https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/distro-info/+bug/1991606
