Mac install questions

[mixographer]

Does anyone know how to install this on a mac? I get a lot of errors where the gist of it is that the .egg is not a directory. I don't know what that means, but neither pip or setup.py can install this on my mac.

If I start with a new 3.12 python, I can get a little further, but I can't build lxml.

Failed to build lxml
ERROR: Could not build wheels for lxml, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects

and it seems to come down to errors from clang

I don't know how I fixed this, but it was my problem. I think individually installing each dependencie in requirements.txt, and then changing the dependencies to require the version I had of certain packages solved it. For instance requirements.txt asks for lxml == 4.9.2 so I changed it to lxml == 4.9.3. I did this for all the libraries required and then I was able to run it.
