Hi, I'm getting the following error when installing with pip using python 3.12:

Is python 3.12 not supported by the program yet? If this is the case, are there any plans to support it in the future? Thank you.

Im getting the same error and I'm using python 3.10

Hey @AndreiVernon, indeed the package provided by pypi does not support python 3.12 atm, that is because wxPython (the gui framework, displaycal heavily relies on, does not support python-3.12 properly atm).
However you can just use the "develop" branch and should be able to run displaycal with python-3.12 if you don't mind displaycal not exiting properly.
You can read about it here: wxWidgets/Phoenix#2455
@ColorfanXP are you sure you getting the exact same error?

@AndreiVernon DisplayCAL + Python 3.12 under Windows will not install at all. Try using Python 3.11, but I fixed Windows version just recently, you need to build from source, you can follow the Menual Setup (Windows) section...

or just wait until I release 3.9.13 around one or two weeks...

in gentoo, wxpython is available now with python 3.12
My gentoo box can hardly install any software <python 3.12 (or would need a lot of geek fiddeling, wich I cannot spend the time on)

I would happily see displaycall-py get upgraded accordingly

Hey @AxelG-DE
if you refer to the gentoo ebuild you have to contact the maintainer or build it yourself. https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/media-gfx/displaycal-py3
You won't find any distribution specific packages in this repository.

However, on Gentoo you can run displaycal with Python 3.11 or 3.12 without any problems in a virtual environment. Just follow the guide here: https://github.com/eoyilmaz/displaycal-py3?tab=readme-ov-file#manually-setup

As I already wrote, you don't have to do that on gentoo if you are running the develop branch of displaycal because that one alreasy runs with python-3.12. But even if you don't, it is no problem at all to have two or more python versions installed on gentoo. In fact, that is exactly what I am doing. You can do that without any changes via virtualenv or, and that is the way that I prefer it, just install eselect-python and switch your interpreter on the fly. That way you literally can copy the commands from the manual setup.
