Just upgraded my system and now Pywalfox won't work

This happens with any pywalfox command. Installed with yay -S python-pywalfox, tried to uninstall and reinstall but it didn't fix the issue. This then causes the Firefox addon to not be able to talk with the daemon.

OS version: 6.2.13-arch1-1 Python version: 3.11.3 Firefox version: 112.0.2 Pywalfox version: 2.7.4-1 (according to https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-pywalfox, but I have no idea for sure because when I run pywalfox --version I get importlib.metadata.PackageNotFoundError: No package metadata was found for pywalfox)

Update: for people having the same issue, I installed it with pip install pywalfox and it solved the problem

Thanks for sharing. I was going through the same and the update you wrote also solved it.

sudo python -m pywalfox install worked for me

If you're on arch and have this problem after some recent updates then i'd suggest to clean build python-pywalfox, then pywalfox uninstall and sudo pywalfox install. That fixed it for me.

im on arch (btw) and a clean build only fixed it for me (yay -S python-pywalfox)
