pip install --upgrade excel2table lands in error

[jay-ramani]

While the project from which this was forked (csvtotable) installs without issues with its command line (pip install --upgrade csvtotable), excel2table throws a pip not installed error (when it very much is, and works with all other packages!)

pip install --upgrade excel2table

Trying to install jupyterpip lands in another error:

pip install --upgrade jupyterpip
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement jupyterpip (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for jupyterpip

Should it help, here's my configuration information -

Architecture: 64-bit OS: Windows 11 23H2 (Build 22631.4169) CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 6800H RAM: 42GB free on 64GB DDR5 Disk Space: 208GB free on a 1TB disk Python version: 3.12.6

Thanks and cheers.

P.S: Hope this project is not abandoned; I see two issues persisting in open state since the last couple of years!
