Maintenance Issues with PyXTermJS #1
Description
Unfortunately, I am currently having trouble with installing the necessary build dependencies for the PyXTermJS "applet" with python3.12. However, I have versions of Python as old as python3.9 also installed, and even a version that old fails to install the required packages for this repository "repo." I have attempted the second process following failure to activate this repo with the "recommended" solution.
For output from pip on the older Python 3.9 installation, given that this repository has not been maintained since somewhat prior to the oldest Python installation on my host system:
