wait, i’m getting this error too! it seems to be an error with setuptools deprecating pkg_resources. i’ll have to look more into this, but for now you can just downgrade to version 81 and it works (pip install setuptools==81.0.0).
by the way, if you run into further issues with makelove, i found that it really prefers it if you use git… it shouldn’t require it, but honestly i find that doing so is easier than trying to figure out what the issue is. git init, git add ., git commit -m 'whatever' and it’s happy as a clam. i should add this stuff to the readme…
