When I try to install Newscatcher in the Conda virtual env (Python 3.7.13), it throws the following errors; I tried the following way;

pip install git+https://github.com/kotartemiy/newscatcher.git

Following is the error;

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

note: This is an issue with the package mentioned above, not pip.
hint: See above for details.

If someone could explain me what is this error all about, I can solve it I guess. Any input is much appreciated!

The module you're trying to install is a bit old (3 years), however, setup tools removed support for 2to3 during builds.

Try downgrading setup tools:

pip install "setuptools<58.0.0"

And then

pip install newscatcher --upgrade
