Can't install in Python 3.10

[TheAngel73]

Hi Tobywf, first of all a BIG thank you for this very useful library.

I use pasteboard on a few small app to analyze dragged and dropped files, however I'm now switching to Python 3.10 and pip installing your library now throws an error.
Am I doing something wrong? Sorry but I'm fairly new to the Python world, thanks and sorry to bother you!

Hi Angelo, I need more info to look into this. What version of pip are you using, and what is the error message?

If you have the time and knowledge about Python packaging, please also see issue #7 . You may be able to find some parallels.

One thing I can say is that this package doesn't (yet) provide pre-built wheels for Python 3.10. Generally, for new Python versions, it takes a while for me to add the pre-built wheels - if I do it at all, since I don't support pasteboard.

You're right, I was too generic.
I tried to install it in a iMac, running PyCharm in a virtual environment with a bunch of libraries (mainly PyPi6).
Here is what I received (copied and pasted directly from terminal), with Python 3.9.x everything went fine; and sorry, I don't know what PEP 517 means, perhaps I'm doing something wrong.

(venv310) angelo@iMac-di-Angelo Python Projects % pip install pasteboard --no-use-pep517
Collecting pasteboard
Using cached pasteboard-0.3.3.tar.gz (13 kB)
ERROR: Disabling PEP 517 processing is invalid: project specifies a build backend of poetry.core.masonry.api in pyproject.toml
WARNING: You are using pip version 21.1.2; however, version 22.0.3 is available.

Thank you for the answer!

EDIT: Not using the "--no-use-pep517" parameters also throws an error that ends with:
ERROR: Could not build wheels for pasteboard which use PEP 517 and cannot be installed directly

@TheAngel73 Now that Homebrew's default Python is 3.10, I am hitting this error. Did you ever find a solution?

edit: I found that all I had to do was (re)install poetry followed by reinstalling pasteboard

unset PIP_REQUIRE_VIRTUALENV
$(brew --prefix)/bin/pip3 install poetry
$(brew --prefix)/bin/pip3 install pasteboard

Hi @luckman212 and thank you for the solution. I tried quickly installing first poetry and then pasteboard from PyCharm with no success... I'll try later from the terminal.

Thanks to #19 and the v0.4.0 release, we now have wheels for 3.10. As a reminder, pasteboard is basically unmaintained ( #18 ).
