pip installation error

[GenevieveBuckley]

I get an error when I try to install this package, either by pip install git+https://github.com/portugueslab/napari-hdf5.git, or by cloning the repository & pip install -e .

I've tried this with python 3.9 and 3.10; on an M1 macbook and also on a linux remote machine.

Here is the full traceback:

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
error: metadata-generation-failed

× Encountered error while generating package metadata.
╰─> See above for output.

note: This is an issue with the package mentioned above, not pip.
hint: See above for details.

This package doesn't seem to be distributed on PyPI, so I wanted to flag for you that there's a problem installing it directly from github or the cloned repository as well.

Ah, looking at the code it seems like most of the content is the default cookiecutter template. So it might not matter anyway!
