installation error

[sandro09021982]

I have an Asustor NAS, model AS1002T, kind of old. Last week Python was updated to version 3.10.6r10 and, for some unknown reason, all the packages that were installed are gone. Among them, Podfox. I managed to reinstall almost all of them, but Podfox gives the following error:

pip3 install podfox
Collecting podfox
Using cached podfox-0.1.2-py3-none-any.whl (5.8 kB)
Collecting colorama==0.3.7
Using cached colorama-0.3.7-py2.py3-none-any.whl (19 kB)
Collecting feedparser==5.2.1

Preparing metadata (setup.py) ... error

[end of output]

note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
error: metadata-generation-failed

× Encountered error while generating package metadata.
╰─> See above for output.

note: This is an issue with the package mentioned above, not pip.
hint: See above for details.

How can I resolve this issue and install Podfox again?

ps: If Podfox is installed, will it recognize the Podcasts already collected and configured in the previous installation?

The version of feedparser currently defined in podfox's setup.py (i.e. 5.2.1) will not work when using setuptools>=58.

The issue will be resolved in #51

In the meantime, you can downgrade setuptools to <58
