Setup doesn't work for host with Python 3.12.3

[rafauke]

Hello, thanks for the package :)

Unfortunately, there are some issues when installing:

$ curl -OL https://bashhub.com/setup && $SHELL setup
  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current
                                 Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed
100  8717  100  8717    0     0  16059      0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 16083

Sorry can't seem to find a version of python 3.6-3.11 or 2.7.9+ installed

Version of python reported by os:

$ python --version
Python 3.12.3

Let me know if I can help with anything.

@rafauke thanks for opening. You can test fixing locally via one character change in the setup script: https://github.com/rcaloras/bashhub-client/blob/c408de68365557d792557e4b8f510ed29c75f910/install-bashhub.sh#L41

Try changing the 12 to 13 and see if everything installs fine. If alls good would welcome a PR!

+1. I am also getting the above python error on ubuntu 24.04

I got this working, based on SO post that says you need to upgrade pip. (The current setup downloads a virtualenv pre-packaged, that may not work best for python 3.12. Either the virtualenv pre-packaged download should be made to work for python 3.12 or it may be best to create the virtual env from scratch).

After solving that problem, I ran into another one. The requests package 2.23 version is mentioned in setup.py, while that version does not work well with python 3.12, and I tried with the latest and it works fine. I have fixed this too in the following fix.

I have raised a PR #139
