Python 3.6 is not supported. You need at least python 3.7 to run this app.
Once you install 3.7 (or higher), you can pass the --python=/path/to/python3.7 argument to pipx to make it use that binary instead of system default.

Side note, it is quite bad that this error message is so opaque and does nothing to hint at the possible cause.
I see it is being tracked at pypa/pip#8831 and recently at, pypa/pip#10421. Let's hope it improves soon.

Oh yeah shit... It's like one of the first sentence in the install process!!! I'm sorry ^^
I updated python to 3.8.12 and still not working !!
And anyway, I'm back to python3.6 as the 3.8 break a lot of stuff in Leap 15.3...
(I get something like 260 "apps" with broken dependencies with 3.8! like for example one of my working tool "yabridgectl"..)
ARF!! Too Bad, I will have to wait LEAP official update I guess !!

Command line output

⚠️  All pipx binary directories have been added to PATH. If you are sure you want to proceed, try again with the '--force' flag.

Otherwise pipx is ready to go! ✨ 🌟 ✨

pipx is still using the default system python, which I'm assuming is 3.6. You need to specify 3.8 manually: pipx install trakt-scrobbler --python=$(which python3.8)

[LokyStaz]

In the log its say that I used python 3.8!!
But anyway, I will not test again for now, as I said I can't use python 3.8 in Leap 15.3 for the moment..

[iamkroot]

(I get something like 260 "apps" with broken dependencies with 3.8! like for example one of my working tool "yabridgectl"..)

Yeah, upgrading your system's python version is not recommended :P. I would have used something like pyenv to install 3.8 on the side, keeping 3.6 untouched. But your choice. I'm pretty sure there won't be issues after your system officially updates everything to 3.8.
