UserWarning: could not run `paper' command warn(msg)

[strikesmeasodd]

When I try to run any of the psutils, it exits with this message:

warnings.py:28: UserWarning: could not run `paper' command
  warn(msg)

The message is the same for all of the utils and regardless of what arguments are included.

I have python 3.10 and installed psutils through pip.

Please let me know if theres something I'm doing wrong

You need to install libpaper, as documented (but not sufficiently prominently, sorry!) in README.md. Since this is not a Python package, pip can't install it. Also, I thought one would get an error message at install time, but apparently not; I'll look into that.

Unfortunately it seems there's not a lot I can do about the test not running at install time.

I'll make a new release shortly with the documentation improvement (and it also fixes a bug to make the warning more readable).

Thanks, installing libpaper got it working. I had assumed that was only required when installing from source, but it's clearer now with the documentation changes.
