New pip venv BS

[hwac121]

Is there a work around to avoid this new pip venv crap that breaks "pip install -r requirements.txt" installs?

It seems to be an issue with the version of PyYaml, specifically building the binary wheels. If you change the PyYaml version in requirements.txt to the version on the master branch pyyaml>=6.0.0,<7 it will install (at least it did for me).

I haven't had the opportunity to look into it further and test spiderfoot stable thoroughly with this version of pyyaml, I will update accordingly once I do.

pip install setuptools
pip3 install --no-build-isolation "pyyaml==5.4.1"
pip install -r requirements.txt

If you want to use venv rather than work around it:

python3 -m venv venv
./venv/bin/pip3 install -r requirements.txt
./venv/bin/python3 ./sf.py -l 127.0.0.1:5001

The problem doesn't has nothing to do with the environment, it's the PyYAML module, so even if you try to install it through a virtual environment it will still being the same problem.
