Hi, Python 2 is no longer supported since v5.0.

I understand you're trying to use an older version but I am not providing support for these. Your problem seems to be that setuptools_scm dropped old Pythons in 6.0 as mentioned in their changelog.

I would suggest you try to migrate your code to Python 3.

@sbraz I have a similar problem with pymediainfo==4.0 and python==3.5. Since setuptools_scm has not specified version and it drops support for python 3.5 you can be blocked. Try to upgrade to Python 3.6.

@mihalikv I think you meant to mention @kishan-ajudiya.

@sbraz I hope that you correct me and send me some brilliant solution, that prevent me from an upgrade 😄 Maybe someone will struggle with the same error and find this useful.

[sbraz]

@mihalikv You can just install an older version of setuptools_scm and pin it, no?

[mihalikv]

@sbraz something like this ? setuptools_scm==5.0.2 pymediainfo==4.0

pymediainfo still use setuptools_scm-6.0.1

[sbraz]

pymediainfo doesn't force a setuptools_scm version. There is probably something weird about your pip or your Python setup, I'm afraid it's a bit out of the scope of the pymediainfo project.
