Hey all,

I made a fresh python 3.8 enviornment and ran pip install pmidcite and got the following error:

I'm using Mac m1 Monterey 12.3 and python 3.8. Any ideas why?

Thank you for your interest in pmidcite. I will take a look into this shortly.

Thank you for the detailed error messages.

Thank you so much for your interest in the pmidcite package.

The issue that you are seeing should be fixed now with the removal of the empty package, pmidcite.eutils.pubmed.mesh, from the setup script.

Please give it a try:

$ python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip

Thank you for taking your time to open this issue and for your interest in the project.
