Python 3 build fails on Ubuntu

[andreas-abel]

On Ubuntu 20.04 (Python 3.8.10), when I run the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/huku-/pyxed.git
cd pyxed/
git submodule update --init --recursive
python3 setup.py build

I get the following error:

external/xed/mfile.py
Xed directory not initialized, run:
git submodule update --init --recursive

The external/xed/mfile.py file exists on my system.

@andreas-abel did you find a solution?

Hello,

Apologies for my late reply, unfortunately I have kind of abandoned pyxed development.

I just pushed a few changes (including extended setup.py modifications) and have tested that everything works on both Python 2.x and 3.x.
