Hey, thanks for trying out Xircuits!
Looking at the logs, it looks like the there's some permission errors. I can think of several reasons, but one of them is that we haven't actually pushed the alt install [full] version to pypi yet. We've also yet to test out installation via conda venvs.
In the meantime, can you try installing it via venv? Using conda's python3.9, go to your work directory and try
python -m venv venv
venv/Scripts/activate
pip install xircuits
Edit:
The quickest fix would be running the install as admin. 😄
Thanks so much for the reply. @MFA-X-AI
The following worked for me on Miniconda Prompt:
python -m venv venv
venv\Scripts\activate
pip install xircuits
I bumped into this error when I call jupyter lab or jupyter notebook:
import win32api
ImportError: DLL load failed while importing win32api: The specified procedure could not be found.
Apparently pywin32=303 has this issue. I used pywin32=225 instead, as per this SO thread.
Then only it works.
May I ask, this extension only works on Jupyter Lab and not Notebook right?

That's very interesting, thanks for documenting it. It may be a conda thing.

Yep, Xircuits is a Jupyterlab based extension, it comes along with Jupyterlab goodies. That to say, you can open and use notebooks in Jupyterlab. We also have plans to create notebook components so that you can do things in notebooks and port them into the canvas.
Although it should've been fixed since 1.3, I've finally gotten to test it out myself and can confirm xircuits is fully functional in an conda env now.
