Python 3.11.7: Cannot find setuptools

[MrAda]

$ python setup.py install
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/c/Users/Chris/test/python-myfitnesspal/setup.py", line 3, in
from setuptools import find_packages, setup
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'setuptools'

Where is setuptools?

Did you try installing it? Something like pip install setuptools, maybe.

[MrAda]

I can try that. It wasn't in the instructions but then again I am not familiar with Python toolsOn Mar 9, 2024 6:53 PM, Hannah ***@***.***> wrote: Did you try installing it?

Already installed.

@MrAda did you figure this out?
If you just want to use the library (rather than changing source code), your easiest bet would be to install the latest release with pip install myfitnesspal. If you run into issues with the release version, you could try the current repo, which might have fixes that are not yet in the official release: pip install git+https://github.com/coddingtonbear/python-myfitnesspal.

@hannahburkhardt I had given up but I can try again when I get a chance.
