Got this error from a docker build of another system that depends on Alfred: Ubuntu 20.04, Python 3.8.4, pip 22.0.2.

@mantkiew this is because of python3.9 above changed some dependency finding strategy. I added colorama to setup.py as dependencies now. You can try install from GitHub. I will update pypi version soon.
