Setup troubles

[SarreqTeryx]

I'm trying to setup PMM for the first time, following the Local Walkthrough, and I'm getting stuck on the config.yml section where it makes an intentional error with Movies-NOSUCHLIBRARY:
I'm not getting the expected error text, but this instead:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\Sarreq Teryx\Plex-Meta-Manager\plex_meta_manager.py", line 173, in <module> from modules.builder import CollectionBuilder File "C:\Users\Sarreq Teryx\Plex-Meta-Manager\modules\builder.py", line 2, in <module> from arrapi import ArrException File "C:\Users\Sarreq Teryx\Plex-Meta-Manager\pmm-venv\Lib\site-packages\arrapi\__init__.py", line 1, in <module> import pkg_resources ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pkg_resources'

any ideas? I'm sure I followed the walkthrough exactly up to there.

What version of python is this?

[SarreqTeryx]

3.12.0

I can't reproduce this on a linux machine:

When I take that next step it indeed happens. Whoops.

Get python 3.12:

> pyenv install 3.12
Downloading Python-3.12.0.tar.xz...
-> https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.12.0/Python-3.12.0.tar.xz
Installing Python-3.12.0...
Installed Python-3.12.0 to /home/chaz/.pyenv/versions/3.12.0

Get the PMM code:

> git clone https://github.com/meisnate12/Plex-Meta-Manager
> cd Plex-Meta-Manager

Cloning into 'Plex-Meta-Manager'...

set up a virtual environment that uses Python 3.12

> echo 'layout pyenv 3.12.0' > .envrc
> direnv allow
direnv: loading ~/Plex-Meta-Manager/.envrc

> python --version
Python 3.12.0

Install requirements:

> python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

That's weird.

Python 3.11.6 works for me, if that's a possiblity.

Also, running pip install setuptools inside the 3.12.0 venv fixed it.

Seems like maybe something's wrong with the Python installation:

Though admittedly that is pretty old, it matches the symptom.

Following that article's advice and doing pip install setuptools inside the 3.12.0 venv fixed this for me.
