Showing this error whenever I'm trying to install with python 3

I'm using python 3.8. Whenever i'm trying to install i'm getting this error. Mutagen was installed before. I uninstalled it. Is it still conflicting with this install?

No, that's merely a Python 3 syntax change breaking Python 2 old syntax (you need except EnvironmentError as err). See https://portingguide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/exceptions.html#the-new-except-syntax

Note that the file setup.py in this case belongs to mutagen, so technically, it is the mutagen dependency that is too old (it doesn't conflict with your install; on the opposite, it tries to use an older version of mutagen (1.21) which was not compatible with Python 3.

But the project mutagenwrapper itself (which has not been updated for 9 years, or 8 years for the develop branch) also needs a Python 2-to-3 upgrade.

I found a fork that did that job (both scripts upgrade and required mutagen version upgrade): https://github.com/SteveClement/mutagenwrapper

You won't get it on official pip unless officially registered, but you can install it from the repository. To avoid a manual download + install, there is a command to install via pip directly passing the repository URL: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20101834/pip-install-from-git-repo-branch (not tried myself yet)

So I tried one of the commands:

pip install git+https://github.com/SteveClement/mutagenwrapper

It works but I got an error when mutagen 1.45 is installed:

ERROR: pip's dependency resolver does not currently take into account all the packages that are installed. This behaviour is the source of the following dependency conflicts.
mutagenwrapper 0.0.6.dev0 requires mutagen==1.44.0, but you have mutagen 1.45.1 which is incompatible.

Don't worry, 1.45 is still compatible with 1.44. In fact, they should probably allow mutagen>=1.44. I'll tell the fork dev, but in the meantime it should be usable (if it really bothers you, download an archive of the develop branch and modify 1.44 -> 1.45 in setup.py and requirements.txt).

I pushed some changes to make it work again. Thanks.
