setuptools - raise ValueError("path '%s' cannot be absolute" % pathname)

[fuddyduddy]

I've encountered the installation problem on share=1.0.4 module. With the suggested environment config. Installed setuptools=66.0.0 and wheel=0.41.2. I don't want to alter any code from setuptools. But if it's the only way to do it, please suggests. Thanks.

I solved it by modifying "util.py" function:

def convert_path (pathname):
    if os.sep == '/':
        return pathname
    if not pathname:
        return pathname
    if pathname[0] == '/':
        raise ValueError("path '%s' cannot be absolute" % pathname)
    if pathname[-1] == '/':
        raise ValueError("path '%s' cannot end with '/'" % pathname)

    paths = pathname.split('/')
    while '.' in paths:
        paths.remove('.')
    if not paths:
        return os.curdir
    return os.path.join(*paths)

TO

def convert_path (pathname):
    if os.sep == '/':
        return pathname
    if not pathname:
        return pathname

    paths = pathname.split('/')
    while '.' in paths:
        paths.remove('.')
    if not paths:
        return os.curdir
    return os.path.join(*paths)

OR There is a forked repository "AnyDoor-for-windows" with modified "util.py" you may use that to build "share" successfully.
