Installation fails using conda, pip, setup.py using Python v3.11 and Pandas v2.1.2 -- cannot get this installed !!

[hilaryshea1]

This looks like a nice package, but I am having trouble installing it with the current versions of pandas, Python, conda, and pip. I even tried using the setup.py file, which is a deprecated method.

I want to use it for data science and data analytics work, so having a conda package is going to be the most robust.
Please, please rebuild and distribute this as a standard conda package.

The setup.cfg and pyproject.toml files were not helpful in terms of helping me figure out package dependencies.

Can someone please explain the best way to install this?

I am using the following pertinent package versions:
Python v3.11
pandas v2.1.2

I tried several ways to install this package:

conda install -c conda-forge pandas_csv_sniffer ---> FAILED
pip install pandas_csv_sniffer ---> FAILED
python setup.py install ---> 

The setup.py installation SEEMED to work, but then when I try to import it the package cannot be found.
