Linux pyrtlsdr no longer available – what can be used instead during installation of ezRA?

I collect data with free Linux PCs.

I find my Windows 10 PC is running Python 3.9.4, which does not show a problem.

I see available Win11 Python version 3.12 and 3.14.2.

Python keeps changing, confusing old libraries like pyrtlsdr ?

I see this,

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7446187/no-module-named-pkg-resources

which has a recent Feb 13 post saying,

      Beginning Feb 8th, 2026 with setuptools>=82, pkg_resources has been removed,

https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/pull/5007

      The quick fix is you should pin your setuptools to an older version – consider pip install setuptools==81.0.0.

      Longer term, you should aim to update or remove any libraries or code references which use pkg_resources, and consider importlib (here’s a migration guide).

Maybe this will work ?,

      py  -m  pip  install  setuptools==81.0.0
