v0.57 clean install generates warning and run-time errors

[Steve Trischetta]

On a clean Windows 10 Pro, I installed Python 3.9.13 as admin.

I created and activated a virtual environment and ran the following:

python –m pip install –-upgrade pip

pip install --upgrade pip setuptools  

pip install mpf-mc  (This also installs mpf)

pip install mpf-monitor

When I issue "mpf --version", I get the following warning:

(mpf57) C:\VENV\mpf57>mpf --version

C:\VENV\mpf57\lib\site-packages\mpf\commands\__init__.py:6: UserWarning: pkg_resources is deprecated as an API. See https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/pkg_resources.html. The pkg_resources package is slated for removal as early as 2025-11-30. Refrain from using this package or pin to Setuptools<81.

  from pkg_resources import iter_entry_points

Mission Pinball Framework v0.57.3

Any idea how to avoid this or suppress this warning?

Issue #2: When running "mpf both" for my test game, I get the following run-time errors:

(mpf57) C:\Pinball\testgame>mpf both

C:\VENV\mpf57\lib\site-packages\mpf\commands\__init__.py:6: UserWarning: pkg_resources is deprecated as an API. See https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/pkg_resources.html.

The setuptools warning is not something I've seen before but it's expected I guess, that's an older version of setuptools and not all packages will be migrated. It's still rendering the correct version number, so that much is good.

For the MC issues, unfortunately MC has a lot of annoying dependencies and libraries it needs installed—looks like your environment is currently complaining about GStreamer. I've not done a Windows setup of MC in many many years and don't recall the procedure, hopefully somebody here may be able to assist or you could do some sleuthing for installing GStreamer libraries for Python on Windows. Good luck!

Just set up a new mpf pc.

For the issues compiling mpf-mc, download the visual C++ build tools manager from the error message.

https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/

In the installer go to Individual Components and select:

MSVC Build Tools for x64/x86

Windows 11 SDK (10.0.22621.0)
