issue with installing on windows

[panzerrunne]

I getting an error when I am trying to install dionysus on my windows machine (I know linux is better). The issue seems to be related to setuptools. Is there any workaround for this. I have python 3.10.7 and pip 22.2.2 and setuptools seems to be installed. thank you

× Running setup.py install for dionysus did not run successfully. │ exit code: 1 ╰─> See above for output.

note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip. full command: 'C:\Users\pkudela1\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.10_qbz5n2kfra8p0\python.exe' -u -c ' exec(compile('"'"''"'"''"'"'

This is -- a caller that pip uses to run setup.py

#

- It imports setuptools before invoking setup.py, to enable projects that directly

import from distutils.core to work with newer packaging standards.

- It provides a clear error message when setuptools is not installed.

- It sets sys.argv[0] to the underlying setup.py, when invoking setup.py so

setuptools doesn'"'"'t think the script is -c. This avoids the following warning:

manifest_maker: standard file '"'"'-c'"'"' not found".

- It generates a shim setup.py, for handling setup.cfg-only projects.

import os, sys, tokenize

try: import setuptools except ImportError as error: print( "ERROR: Can not execute setup.py since setuptools is not available in " "the build environment.", file=sys.stderr, ) sys.exit(1)

I know nothing about Windows, so as far as I'm concerned it's not supported. Some people on the mailing list have posted about it in the past, so that might be helpful. The easiest way to get this to run on Windows is inside the Linux subsystem that Windows provides.

I'm going to close this, since I cannot provide any useful advice.

No worries and thanks for getting back to me.
