Initial running of ./start-dev-env.sh fails to install py packages

How did you install OpenDroneMap?

I followed the steps in https://github.com/OpenDroneMap/ODM#developers, i.e.

• git clone https://github.com/OpenDroneMap/ODM.git
• cd to cloned dir
• DATA=/path/to/datasets ./start-dev-env.sh

What's your operating system?

OS: Kubuntu 24.04.2 LTS x86_64

What is the problem?

When executing the first step described under https://github.com/OpenDroneMap/ODM#developers (i.e. $ DATA=/path/to/datasets ./start-dev-env.sh) I receive the following error message:

What should be the expected behavior?

Installation should finish successfully.

How can we reproduce this?

Follow the steps at https://github.com/OpenDroneMap/ODM#developers

Start with the developer setup instructions and ./start-dev-env.sh, then trace the package installation step that installs pygltflib. Reproduce the failure on the reported environment and determine why pygltflib produces the Python 3.9 syntax error; done means the initial development environment installation completes successfully.
