Problem installing version 1.1.3

[marcverhagen]

Because

Running pip install clams-python=1.1.3 in a clean Python 3.10 based environment gives an error:

AttributeError: module 'setuptools.command' has no attribute 'sdist'

This seems to happen with at least a bunch of versions <3.1.2 (I also tried 1.1.6, 1.2.6 and 1.3.0 and 1.3.1).

Updating pip and setuptools did not work. The weird thing is that I do have a setup at work with clams-python==1.1.3 so at some point it worked (I will look at it when I am at work).

Done when

Done when there is a workaround or we decide not to bother about older versions.

Additional context

I was trying to do this to replicate an error reported in clamsproject/mmif-summarizer#21

this is because of changes in setuptools API. You have to install an old version of setuptools. Closing as resolved.
