Python Issues - Fresh install - ungoogled

Hi,
Just did a fresh endeavour install and ran into issues with python right away just installing many basic apps so to resolve I installed setuptools and setuptools-reproducible.
In installing ungoogled chromium I’m now running into an error I believe is tied to python 3.13 so I installed python 3 but still receiving same error after trying to install twice via steps here https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium-archlinux.
How can I resolve this and any recommendations on commands to run to start fresh w python for typical requirements (IE: Remove things I added/install certain packages)

Did you do a offline install , and updated after install ? Because ungoogled-bin installs fine with my up to date system.

nope, was online install but using steps in link I shared to install. Is bin installed a different way ?

Probably you can install it like this

yay ungoogled-chromium-bin

thanks will give it a go

thanks! this was much better as before I was having to compile everything and it took forever!!

Yes a bin version is always compiled , saves also time when updating.
