Root Cause

The package's setup.py uses Python 2 syntax, incompatible with Python 3.

generic

中文

包的 setup.py 使用 Python 2 语法，与 Python 3 不兼容。

Workarounds

  1. 90% success 
    Find a newer version of the package that supports Python 3.
  2. 70% success 
    Use `2to3` to convert setup.py, then install with `--no-build-isolation`.

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 90% fail

    Python 2 is EOL and may not be available.

  2. 60% fail

    May be overwritten on next install; not sustainable.
