py3exiv2

Cannot install via pip

Asked by Jo

Hi,

I tried to install the package via pip on Python 3.9.9 on an M1 mac and got this error:

```
pip install py3exiv2
Collecting py3exiv2
  Using cached py3exiv2-0.9.3.tar.gz (36 kB)
  Preparing metadata (setup.py) ... done
ERROR: No .egg-info directory found in /private/var/folders/px/tgx1c_sx07bb2hf5zmpb0z9c0000gn/T/pip-pip-egg-info-rapyta5b
```

Is there anything I could do to install the package?

Bye,
Jo

To get around this problem do the following:

brew install boost-python3 gexiv2 pygobject3

After installing the dependencies, you'll face more errors. To get around those, set the corrext include and linker path and then install the module using pip.

export CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/exiv2/0.27.5_1/include/:/usr/local/opt/libssh/include/:/usr/local/Cellar/boost/1.76.0/include/
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/Cellar/boost-python3/1.76.0/lib -L/usr/local/Cellar/exiv2/0.27.5_1/lib"

 pip install py3exiv2
