Python 3.11 pip install ggwave fails.

[denizsincar29]

Hello. I am trying to run my gui ggwaver in a new python, but pip install ggwave throws me an error. I tried to pip install it from setup.py, but no success.

pip install ggwave

  DEPRECATION: ggwave is being installed using the legacy 'setup.py install' method, because it does not have a 'pyproje
ct.toml' and the 'wheel' package is not installed. pip 23.1 will enforce this behaviour change. A possible replacement i
s to enable the '--use-pep517' option. Discussion can be found at https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/8559

working wheels here for now (only tested x86)

You can fix this by adding the following line at the beginning of the file ggwave.bycython.cpp from the latest pip release. The error comes from a change in Python 3.11, as _frame struct was moved to an internal header, however the public API is primarily read-only.
#include "internal/pycore_frame.h"
Just download ggwave 0.4.2, do the modification, and pip install the setup.py

For Windows, follow instruction of @matteotenca but use

set GGWAVE_USE_CYTHON=1

instead of export ....
