v2.1.6: Support pip install

This release introduces full pip installation support, simplifying the setup process and ensuring all dependencies are correctly managed.

🚀 Installation

You can now install OpenLPT directly via pip:

pip install "openlpt[gui]"

If your platform can't support pySide6, you can install OpenLPT without GUI:

pip install openlpt

🛠 Usage

Launch the GUI or run a calculation directly from your terminal:

openlpt                       # Launch GUI
openlpt path/to/config.txt    # Run with a specific config

🐍 Python API

Integrate OpenLPT directly into your Python scripts:

import openlpt as lpt

⚠️ Mandatory One-Time Manual Update for Source Users (git clone)

Important

If the "Update Now" button fails with a fatal: not a git repository error:
This version (v2.1.6) fixes a critical path-detection bug in older versions. To upgrade:

1. Open your File Explorer in the OpenLPT_GUI root folder (where [install_windows.bat] is).
2. Click the address bar at the top, type cmd, and press Enter.
3. Run: git pull

Once updated to v2.1.3, all future updates will work automatically via the GUI.

Thanks for using OpenLPT!
