python-hosts unable to install by pip, deprecated warnings on local install.

Open CookieThump opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

I wrote a script some days ago to modify my hostfile on my system importing python-hosts. It worked absolutely fine, but since I guess the 21th of september, don't remember 100%, I only get back errors.

When I try to execute the script, I get the following error:

from python_hosts import Hosts, HostsEntry
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'python_hosts'

When I try to install pyhton-hosts I get the following error:

Unable to locate package python_hosts

And when i try to install the package manually (after cloning the git) with setup.py, I get a bunch of errors like that:

python setup.py install
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/setuptools/dist.py:476: SetuptoolsDeprecationWarning: Invalid dash-separated options

        ********************************************************************************
        Usage of dash-separated 'description-file' will not be supported in future
        versions. Please use the underscore name 'description_file' instead.

        This deprecation is overdue, please update your project and remove deprecated
        calls to avoid build errors in the future.

error: can't create or remove files in install directory

The following error occurred while trying to add or remove files in the
installation directory:

    [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/local/lib/python3.12/dist-packages/test-easy-install-102214.write-test'

The installation directory you specified (via --install-dir, --prefix, or
the distutils default setting) was:

    /usr/local/lib/python3.12/dist-packages/

Perhaps your account does not have write access to this directory?  If the
installation directory is a system-owned directory, you may need to sign in
as the administrator or "root" account.  If you do not have administrative
access to this machine, you may wish to choose a different installation
directory, preferably one that is listed in your PYTHONPATH environment
variable.

For information on other options, you may wish to consult the
documentation at:

  https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/deprecated/easy_install.html

Please make the appropriate changes for your system and try again.

Do you know how to fix this? Is this a problem with my system or is python-hosts really unusable atm? Thanks in advance! :D
