Install issue related to Apple silicon

Did a basic install of the library:

pip install woocommerce

Tried to follow example:

from woocommerce import API
Python 3.9.5 (default, May  4 2021, 03:36:27) 
[Clang 12.0.0 (clang-1200.0.32.29)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from woocommerce import API
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/user/Library/Python/3.9/lib/python/site-packages/requests/compat.py", line 11, in <module>
    import chardet
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'chardet'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

The issue seems to be with chardet, but the secondary issue was related to architecture: (have 'arm64', need 'x86_64').

Solution

pip install chardet

Manually installing chardet fixed the issue.

Beginne damit, den gemeldeten Fehler bei pip install woocommerce und from woocommerce import API auf Apple silicon mit Python 3.9 zu reproduzieren. Prüfe, wie das Paket seine Abhängigkeiten deklariert, und verifiziere, dass sich das Paket nach einer sauberen Installation erfolgreich importieren lässt, ohne chardet manuell zu installieren.
