Hello community,
I wanted to ask you what is the best way to go about installing frappe framework
if I get:


    × python setup.py develop did not run successfully.

        AttributeError: 'HTMLParser' object has no attribute 'unescape'

I’ve upgraded setuptools module as well as pip and I get this error on Python 3.10 as well as python 3.11

I’m on Ubuntu 20.04

Thank you for suggestions.

Edit:

Based on online forums it appears that setuptools work only up to Python3.8, however frappe frameworks requires Python 10 and above. What should I do ?

Hi,

It may help to say the version of frappe and how python 10 and 11 are being installed.

I’m getting frappe by cloning git clone https://github.com/frappe/bench /home/mark/.bench --depth 1 --branch master which I think is latest version on the master. 14.27 I believe. I installed python versions by adding deadsnakes repo and running sudo apt install python3.10-full

Hope this helps.

Does python3 -V confirm one of those is in use?
Has sudo pip3 install frappe-bench been tried?

Problem resolved after running sudo apt install python3.8-setuptools apparently running pip3 install setuptools --upgrade isn’t the same.
