Failed to install Feast in Python 3.7

Question

I am trying to install feature store library named feast inside Python 3.7.

~$ pip install feast==0.25.2

Running this command gives us the following error

Collecting feast==0.25.2
  Using cached feast-0.25.2.tar.gz (3.5 MB)
  Installing build dependencies ... done

    Complete output (1 lines):
    error in feast setup command: 'extras_require' must be a dictionary whose values are strings or lists of strings containing valid project/version requirement specifiers.

Please note I have already run "pip install --upgrade setuptools"

Can you please suggest me about this issue here?

I have the same problem when installing Feast 0.23.0 version using pip.
After some debugging I found the solution is change all the project/version requirements written in the format some-lib>=1.52.* to some-lib>=1.52.0.

$ git clone https://github.com/feast-dev/feast
$ git checkout tag/v0.23.0
$ vim set.py

Change all the lines contain >= followed by *, for example:

-    "googleapis-common-protos>=1.52.*,<2",
+    "googleapis-common-protos>=1.52.0,<2",

After that run below command to install Feast locally

$ python setup.py install

I believe the >= operator can't be use with * wildcard.
