Pull request #54 broke installer?

[theyosh]

Hi,

how to install this software, now the setup.py file is deleted? How can I use this library in my software?

Example code at: https://github.com/python-kasa/python-kasa#discovering-devices-1 is not working.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test.py", line 2, in <module>
    from kasa import Discover
  File "/tmp/TerrariumPI/python-kasa/kasa/__init__.py", line 15, in <module>
    from kasa.discover import Discover
  File "/tmp/TerrariumPI/python-kasa/kasa/discover.py", line 9, in <module>
    from kasa.smartbulb import SmartBulb
  File "/tmp/TerrariumPI/python-kasa/kasa/smartbulb.py", line 5, in <module>
    from kasa.smartdevice import (
  File "/tmp/TerrariumPI/python-kasa/kasa/smartdevice.py", line 17, in <module>
    from dataclasses import dataclass
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'dataclasses'

How to fix this?

You need to use Python 3.7 or higher.

Stil does not work. There is no installer anymore. So how to install it. Do I need to install poetry in order to make it installable?

Running with Python 3.7.3:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test.py", line 2, in <module>
    from kasa import Discover
  File "/home/pi/TerrariumPI/python-kasa/kasa/__init__.py", line 14, in <module>
    from importlib_metadata import version  # type: ignore
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'importlib_metadata'

That means I need to install https://pypi.org/project/importlib-metadata/ etc...

So please add an installation section in your documentation. How do I install this. Before the setup.py file was removed, it was quite easy. python3 setup.py install but that is not available anymore.

@rytilahti, should we revert to a setup.py? It's causing quite a bit of confusion.

Or, add a small installation section in the readme file. I do not mind to do some installation, as long it is clear.

And I am not yet familiar with Poetry, but do know pip and other installers. So before I start doing all kind of installs and setups, it is handier to have some explanation how to build the package.

There is some discussion about that in #60.

[theyosh]

Hmm, I missed that. I think that is the same thing. So, then I suggest I close this one, and continue on the #60 ?
