Install issue related to Apple silicon

[kornpow]

Did a basic install of the library:

pip install woocommerce

Tried to follow example:

from woocommerce import API
Python 3.9.5 (default, May  4 2021, 03:36:27) 
[Clang 12.0.0 (clang-1200.0.32.29)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from woocommerce import API
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/user/Library/Python/3.9/lib/python/site-packages/requests/compat.py", line 11, in <module>
    import chardet
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'chardet'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

The issue seems to be with chardet, but the secondary issue was related to architecture: (have 'arm64', need 'x86_64').

Solution

pip install chardet

Manually installing chardet fixed the issue.
