Installation broken with python Python 3.10.14

[Yong2Sheng]

I had this astromodels related issue when installing cosipy developer version:

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
  ERROR: Failed cleaning build dir for astromodels

It's may be the same issue #127 or related to issue #127, but I tried both python 3.10 and 3.9, and still got this error. Installation on the Ubuntu desktop is OK, so it might be a macOS specific issue.

I have a Intel Mac:

Thanks, @Yong2Sheng . I think the solution is to specify a previous stable version of astromodels (or at least skip this one).

[israelmcmc]

@Yong2Sheng Can you try running just pip install astromodels? Just to make sure the issue is not with cosipy itself.

Hi @israelmcmc,

What's worked

Install astromodels via conda and then run pip install -e ., it worked!

Failed tries

I tried :

1. pip install astromodels after unsetting HEADAS (this will cause another error about XSPEC), and I still got the error.
2. sudo -H pip install astromodels since it seems related to the permission, but it didn't work.
3. pip3 install astromodels, same problem.

      OSError: [Errno 66] Directory not empty: '/private/tmp/pip-install-1r16d2mn/astromodels_9fe4ea04a7d549a0af2c47c1421bf42d/.eggs/numpy-1.26.4-py3.9-macosx-10.9-x86_64.egg/numpy-1.26.4.dist-info' -> '/private/tmp/pip-install-1r16d2mn/astromodels_9fe4ea04a7d549a0af2c47c1421bf42d/.eggs/numpy-1.26.4-py3.9-macosx-10.9-x86_64.egg/EGG-INFO'

@Yong2Sheng Is the conda's astromodel's version the same as the one pip tried to install?

[Yong2Sheng]

Hi @israelmcmc, the astromodels version installed by anaconda is 2.4.2.

[israelmcmc]

I tracked down the issue and explained it here: threeML/astromodels#209

While this is addressed on either astromodels or setuptools, we'll have to use pip install --use-pep517 with newer versions of setuptools. I'll update the installation instructions.

[israelmcmc]

Related: #187 . I added --use-pep517 to the documentation there.
