When running "python3 setup.py install" there is a deprecation warning as using
setup.py seems to get deprecated in favor of using "pyproject.toml" using pip.

The new way is running "sudo pip install ." in the git root where the
pyproject.toml is.

This however doesn't work because it is broken in the currently newest packaged
version of python3-pip (22.0.4) - the issue doesn't happen eg. in an archlinux
container with pip 22.3.1:




sudo pip install .
