note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
error: metadata-generation-failed

× Encountered error while generating package metadata.
╰─> See above for output.

note: This is an issue with the package mentioned above, not pip.
hint: See above for details.

OS: Fedora 41 with Conda environment, in pycharm as well as other IDEs

The error can be fixed by removing the “[project.urls]” section (all 4 lines) from the pyproject.toml file

TL;DR:
when you have an error with running “pip install .” that looks like the one above, remove this code block:

[project.urls]
homepage = [link that i had to remove so it would let me post]
Forum = [another link]
Source = [another link]

from pyproject.toml to fix
