Error in gym setup command: 'extras_require'

[ethan-alderson]

Running into this error when attempting pip install deepbots, I have upgraded pip, installed gym as a dependency, and am running Python 3.11.3. Am running into the same issue on other machines when attempting the same install.

@ethan-alderson Hi, thank you for opening an issue.
Could you share your setuptools version with us and try pip install setuptools==65.5.0?

Hey @ethan-alderson, did you have any luck with this issue?

[ethan-alderson]

Yep, had some clashing dependencies, worked in a fresh virtual environment!

I'm reopening this issue and will keep it open as it is recurring and other users might face it until the gym setup stuff is ironed out. Also pinned it.

For other users that run into this issue, i investigated further, and apart from setup tools version, pip version also interferes with gym installation.

If pip install setuptools==65.5.0 itself doesn't fix it, try:

pip install setuptools==65.5.0 pip==21

This modifies the user's environment unfortunately. We will investigate (#147) into changing our gym dependency to gymnasium (see also this).
