I swear this was fine in 2021 when i wrote this. I'll have a look . in the meantime could you try installing the pypi package?

Yes, I'm rather sure it worked at some point...

Thanks, I didn't recall it was available on pypi. pip install copasi-petab-importer works.

pypi install also worked for me. However had to pip install wheel before.

it took a while, but this is now fixes with release 1.0.3
