Compatibility with python 2.7

[Ioannis Dadiotis]

Hi all,

I would like to ask if meshcat can be installed with python 2.7?

I tried pip install meshcat (python vesion 2.7), and I got:

Thanks

I also had issues with this as I need to use Python 2.7 for a legacy codebase and meshcat was a dependency. I resolved it by specifying a version when doing a pip install (an old enough version wasn't available for a conda forge installation however). I picked an older one from here: https://pypi.org/project/meshcat/#history

Looks like pip install meshcat==0.1.0 worked for me

Indeed this works also for me.

Thanks!
