Install hints for Ubuntu 21.10 on python 3.9

[moovida]

Hi there, here below some workarounds that I had to perform against the official project readme to have the development environment installed on the newest ubuntu with python 3.9.

The first problem is on the anyjson installation, which fails on the newest python, giving use_2to3 is invalid as reason. After some checks, it is setuptools, that after version 57.5.0 did remove support for 2to3.

The second is that the build fails with the latest pip, so that also needs to be downgraded.

  pip install setuptools==57.5.0
  pip install pip==20.0.2

It would not hurt in the readme to add the virtualenv activation command for python noobs like me :-D

Hi @moovida,

in this regard, are you able to make a pull request that improves the readme file?

(BTW, from what i can see the dev version currently recommends python 3.10)

Version

At the moment is not used a classic versioning system for the suite, these are the main branches.

Branch	Python version	Django version	Client version	QGIS API	First release	Status

@moovida so, exactly would you recommend to change within documentation?

Please try submitting here a dedicated pull request with all the new necessary information to let others understand better.

If not, since you've found a solution anyway, I think this issue can be closed too..
