Can't install bexvar

[MattImbr]

When I try to install bexvar on my laptop (Ubuntu 20.04, Python 3.10) with pip install bexvar I get the following error:

It seems to be an issue related to the package. Do you recommend a workaround?

Thanks for reporting this. I am a bit confused though because it does not say '>=3.5.*' in setup.py on github. Can you try installing from github?

[JohannesBuchner]

I made a new release, 1.1.1, it should work now. Let me know.

[MattImbr]

Thanks a lot, I confirm that now the installation via pip is working!

Nice!
