in May 2022 to basically fix problems they had during commercial usage of this software, for free.
Deprecation of PyPi Packages
Packages on PyPi are no longer updated due to attempts of the Python Software Foundation to enforce new rules and basically flush out
developers who do not consent.
Recent packages can be installed directly from git, i.e.
pip install git+https://gitlab.com/Menschel/hcscom.git --upgrade
