Installation failed issue.

[Joevaen]

Hi, a newbie here.I encountered some problems.
When I installed, urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 403: SSL is requiredoccured.
So I change DEFAULT_URL = "http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/d/distribute/"to DEFAULT_URL = "https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/d/distribute/". It worked and error disappeared.
But new error happened
Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 11, in <module> use_setuptools() File "/home/qiao/Software/dicompyler-0.4.2/distribute_setup.py", line 145, in use_setuptools return _do_download(version, download_base, to_dir, download_delay) File "/home/qiao/Software/dicompyler-0.4.2/distribute_setup.py", line 125, in _do_download _build_egg(egg, tarball, to_dir) File "/home/qiao/Software/dicompyler-0.4.2/distribute_setup.py", line 99, in _build_egg _extractall(tar) File "/home/qiao/Software/dicompyler-0.4.2/distribute_setup.py", line 467, in _extractall self.chown(tarinfo, dirpath) TypeError: chown() missing 1 required positional argument: 'numeric_owner'
What should I do? Thanks a lot!
Best wishes,
Joevaen

I believe you are using the latest zip file (0.4.2) from the releases page. Unfortunately, that version still uses distribute package which isn't really supported by Python for package management. You could try to install the latest source version instead.

@bastula Hi Thanks a lot!
I have followed your advice and it worked.But I encountered a new error like below:

What to do for this?

I experienced the same issue. In other words, the software is not installable. That's a pity, it looks so promising...

I have tried again and found several issues. This package is broken and seems to be unmaintained. DO NOT USE IT!

Why?

• The package uploaded to PyPi is from 2014 and contains links to the old repo hosted on Google code.
• I was able to clone and build the package using the code from this repo (pip install .). When I start the program, I get the following error:

/home/renato/.local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/wx/lib/pubsub/__init__.py:23: wxPyDeprecationWarning: wx.lib.pubsub has been deprecated, plese migrate your code to use pypubsub, available on PyPI.

Looks to be a wxPython 4.1.0 issue. Please use a version less than 4.1.0 but above 4.0. I will update the requirements to pin that version.
