Installing on Windows 10 64 bit error and solution #2
Description
I have been getting errors when trying to install the package on Windows with Conda and Python 3.9 in this case such as (paths abbreviated):
PS ...\signal-slot-main> pip install .
Processing ...\signal-slot-main
Preparing metadata (setup.py) ... error
error: subprocess-exited-with-error
× python setup.py egg_info did not run successfully.
│ exit code: 1
╰─> [10 lines of output]
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 2, in <module>

File "...\discovery.py", line 127, in find
convert_path(str(where)),
raise ValueError("path '%s' cannot end with '/'" % pathname)
ValueError: path './' cannot end with '/'
[end of output]
Changing the two paths in setup.py from ./ to just . made the install successful, the full modified setup.py was:
import os
import setuptools
from setuptools import setup
with open("README.md", "r") as f:
long_description = f.read()
descr_lines = long_description.split("\n")
long_description = "\n".join(descr_lines)
queue_deps = ["faster-fifo>=1.4.4,<2.0"] if os.name != "nt" else []
setup(

)I don't have much experience with configuring setup.py so I'm not sure if this is the correct way to implement it for Windows and other platforms, I'm just sharing the experience of what caused the error and what seems to work.
After installing the signal-slot that way, I was able to install Sample Factory on Windows without errors as well (before I was receiving errors on install).
