Some python libraries not installing on arch linux
Question:
Today I am tried to install this python project to check my airpods battery percentage on arch linux. So it needs some python libraries to run it. When I going to install pywin32 library with:
pip install pypiwin32
It giving an error like this:
[thinura@archlinux AirStatus]$ pip install pypiwin32
Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable
Collecting pypiwin32
Using cached pypiwin32-223-py3-none-any.whl (1.7 kB)
Using cached pypiwin32-219.zip (4.8 MB)
Preparing metadata (setup.py) ... error

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'. Did you mean print(...)?

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.
Any solution for this? Thanks in advance.
Answers:
Try another version of pypiwin32, for example: pip install pywin32==304
