Hi @satirebird and thanks for reporting this issue. I confirm that python3 -m pip install pyjoulescope_driver gives the same error with a clean venv on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. That error is entirely unhelpful, so I will have to investigate. Python packaging recently obsoleted the python setup.py method, so I suspect that this is related.

In the meantime, here is a process to build and install from source:

python3 -m venv ~/venv/tmp
. ~/venv/tmp/bin/activate
pip3 install Cython numpy requests setuptools wheel
cd {path/to}/joulescope_driver
python3 setup.py bdist_wheel
pip3 install dist/pyjoulescope_driver*

Same as this issue.

Fixed in 1.3.9.
