1. I do pip install -r requirements.txt
2. This results in

   pip install -r requirements.txt

Hi @zdavatz

It doesn't look like the 2.28.1 version was removed or revoked (https://github.com/psf/requests/releases/tag/v2.28.1). I just installed it in a Linux 3.10.6 virtual environment without any issues.

1) What version of Python are you using? 2) Are you using a virtual environment? 3) Maybe it's a pip cache issue (see https://linuxhint.com/pip-clear-cache/)? It's not showing 2.28.2 (which is the latest) in your output as a valid candidate either.

1. What version of Python are you using?

Python 3.6.8

2. Are you using a virtual environment?

Yes, as mentioned in the how-to.

3. Maybe it's a pip cache issue (see https://linuxhint.com/pip-clear-cache/)? It's not showing 2.28.2 (which is the latest) in your output as a valid candidate either.

Which command shall I issue?

[zdavatz]

I followed these steps. I am using Oracle Linux.

[zdavatz]

Doing these steps:

virtualenv -p python3 .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

[zdavatz]

Same problem with Python 3.9:

[opsdisk]

Looks like they removed support for Python 3.6 in version 2.28.0 https://github.com/psf/requests/blob/main/HISTORY.md#2281-2022-06-29

That doesn't explain your 3.9 issue though. Short term, you could downgrade the requests version in the requirements.txt file until you find one that works.

[zdavatz]

Downgrade to which version?

[opsdisk]

Based off your screenshot, you could try 2.27.1

[zdavatz]

This worked! 🙏 Where is the installed executable now? My ~/.local/bin does not exist.

[opsdisk]

Great! It doesn't create a binary. You should be able to run this in your Python virtual environment:

python metagoofil.py -h

[zdavatz]

this worked, thank you!
