Incompatibility with pep517 and Installation Failure

[shahinism]

Description:
The ksql-python package encounters compatibility issues with pep517 during installation using tools where this pep is considered the default, resulting in the following error:

❯ python -m pip wheel --use-pep517 .
Processing /home/shahin/projects/oss/ksql-python
  Installing build dependencies ... done
  Getting requirements to build wheel ... error
  error: subprocess-exited-with-error

[notice] A new release of pip is available: 23.0.1 -> 23.1.2
[notice] To update, run: pip install --upgrade pip

As a result of this issue, package managers compatible with pep517, such as poetry and pdm, are unable to install the ksql-python package, displaying the aforementioned error message.

Upon further investigation, I have identified the root cause of the problem. The setup.py file includes an unused import statement:

import pip

if LooseVersion(pip.__version__) >= "10.0.0":
    from pip._internal.req import parse_requirements
else:
    from pip.req import parse_requirements

Will open a PR to address it.

Hello @shahinism @michaeljoseph

I've forked the code, modernized it (replaced hyper with HTTPX, bumped all dependencies, updated to Python 3.9 as the minimal version, and fixed all the tests to behave with latest KSQL DB behavior. I've also fixed this issue along the way, I believe.

I'll be making a PYPI release soon enough. In the meanwhile, you can test it by running

pipx install git+https://github.com/sheinbergon/ksql-python-ng.git --include-deps

or

pip install git+https://github.com/sheinbergon/ksql-python-ng.git
