script/setup hangs

[theRealFakeJ]

Describe the bug Following the instructions in https://simplisafe-python.readthedocs.io/en/latest/usage.html#installation, after running scripts/setup in the virtualenv the terminal hangs and does not complete and therefor not allowing you to proceed to the 'scripts/auth' step.

Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS desktop running in VMware Workstation.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Run the setup steps through "step 3: Initialize the dev environment for simplipy: script/setup

Expected behavior Expected for the process to complete and present the command prompt again, allowing you to proceed to step 4.

Screenshots If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Additional context I also tried exiting CTRL+Z and then running scripts/auth but it gives me the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home//simplisafe-python/script/auth", line 8, in from simplipy.util.auth import ( ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'simplipy'

This is happening to me as well. I am on a Fedora 41 system.

Here is a grep of the output and failed packages that the setup script is choking on...

  - Installing frozenlist (1.4.0): Failed
  - Installing multidict (6.0.4): Failed

[pghpete]

uninstalling those packages in the virtual environment and reinstalling those specific versions manually doesn't seem to help either. If I can help by gathering any other logs or retrying to get past this, please let me know. I would be glad to help.

Can you install these packages at all (separate from doing so through this script)?

[pghpete]

It does not appear so. I tried this... simplisafe-python]$ pip3 install "multidict==6.0.4" from the virtual environment and received these errors (snipped down)

Building wheels for collected packages: multidict
  Building wheel for multidict (pyproject.toml) ... error

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

Problem with the virtual environment?

However, if I simply run pip3 install multidict it installs correctly.
