Try to use python version 3.8, it should work without any problem.

[Garans]

I used version 3.8 but met the same problem, for solved this issue I patched setup.py and install local package pip install .

import setuptools
# from airsim import __version__

with open("README.md", "r") as fh:
    long_description = fh.read()

setuptools.setup(
    name="airsim",
    version="1.8.1",
    author="Shital Shah",
    author_email="[email protected]",
    description="Open source simulator based on Unreal Engine for autonomous vehicles from Microsoft AI & Research",
    long_description=long_description,
    long_description_content_type="text/markdown",
    url="https://github.com/microsoft/airsim",
    packages=setuptools.find_packages(),
	license='MIT',
    classifiers=(
        "Programming Language :: Python :: 3",
        "License :: OSI Approved :: MIT License",
        "Operating System :: OS Independent",
    ),
    install_requires=[
          'msgpack-rpc-python', 'numpy', 'opencv-contrib-python'
    ],
)

@Garans, thanks, that helped. But I experience the issue only in pyenv (Mac). Everything worked fine on conda (Win)

I'm using this lib with remote connect from Mac to win

I have the same issue when trying to install airsim python package version 1.6.0, 1.7.0 and 1.8.1 (latest) using Python 3.12.
However I did manage to successfully install version 1.5.0.

Update: I ran into issues running the client.simGetImages() with airsim 1.5.0. Eventually I just downloaded the airsim 1.8.1 python package and installed it manually (instead of pip) by opening command prompt in the downloaded airsim package and running "python setup.py install". Now I am able to use airsim without problems.
