spotify-downloader: pip does not install latest version of spotdl

Explanation

Finally, I am able to replicate this issue. If anyone wants to replicate the issue, then install python 3.12.0 with pip 23.3.1. I tried the following.

• Installed spotdl older version using pip install spotdl==3.9.6 and it installed perfectly.
• Tried to upgrade it to latest using pip install --upgrade spotdl and it did NOT got upgraded to the latest version of spotdl.
• I unintalled and tried to install nomally i.e. pip install spotdl but it also installed the version 3.9.6.
• So, I tried to force install the latest version using pip install spotdl==4.2.2 and it gave the following error message.

Judging by this, I can say with certainity that it’s the compatibility issue with the python 3.12.0.

I tried building it manually as instructed in the README section of the repo but it also didn’t work as I got the following error while executing the command poetry install

Current Python version (3.12.0) is not allowed by the project (>=3.8,<3.12).  
Please change python executable via the "env use" command.

Solution

So, the work around is to either downgrade the python version to an older one or you may use the executable shared in the assets.

Meanwhile, I will fork the repo and try to fix it.

Progress Update

Edit 1: There is dependency conflicts that can’t be resolved unless those packages catch up to the latest. Got the following while manually setting up the project and executed pip install poetry

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.
spotdl 4.2.2 requires platformdirs<5.0.0,>=4.0.0, but you have platformdirs 3.11.0 which is incompatible.
spotdl 4.2.2 requires rapidfuzz==2.15.1, but you have rapidfuzz 3.5.2 which is incompatible.
syncedlyrics 0.5.0 requires rapidfuzz<3.0.0,>=2.13.2, but you have rapidfuzz 3.5.2 which is incompatible.

So, the work around is to either downgrade the python version to an older one or you may use the executable shared in the assets.

This also seems to work: pip install -U --force --ignore-requires-python spotdl
