DEPRECATION: scour is being installed using the legacy 'setup.py install' method, because it does not have a 'pyproject.toml' and the 'wheel' package is not installed. pip 23.1 will enforce this behaviour change. A possible replacement is to enable the '--use-pep517' option. Discussion can be found at https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/8559

I tried pip3 install --upgrade https://github.com/codedread/scour/archive/master.zip

and received

not sure if that might get a future issue on my side or for scour, or maybe no issue at all.

Getting the same thing during my first install. Hoping nothing is broken! 🤔

I think it is just a unimportant message. I think if you update to pip 23.1:
python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip it should not get this message any more
