How to install latest version.

[eli-damon]

Hello. I acknowledge that this is probably not a problem with eyeD3 itself, and I apologize if I'm missing something that should be obvious.

I'm using Linux Mint 21.2 Cinnamon, so I installed eyeD3 from the Linux Mint repository, which turned out to be version 0.8.10 . I encountered what seemed like a bug, so I eventually tried installing eyeD3 using pip, as the documentation recommends, to get the latest version. But when I enter pip install eyeD3 at the command line, I get the following output.

Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable Requirement already satisfied: eyeD3 in /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages (0.8.10)

I got this output even after removing the old version.

I would appreciate any suggestions. Thank you.

Sounds like the removal left some remnants lying around. Do you get the same error when installing in a virtualenv instead of the system /usr/lib? Also, when installing into /usr/lib/python3 you need need root-level perms.
