I was able to install both paho-mqtt and ephem (NB: these days, it's just "ephem", not "pyephem") without warnings on Debian 12 by installing "wheel" first:
*python3 -m pip install wheel* *python3 -m pip install ephem* *python3 -m pip install paho-mqtt* Does this work for others? If so, we can put "wheel" in the requirements list for pip installs. -tk On Fri, Dec 22, 2023 at 11:19 AM Greg <[email protected]> wrote: > Oops...I meant python version is 3.11 not pip.
