Documentation should list swig as a dependency #6

Foolish noobs like me will try the pip3 installation and fail with a 65-line error message and have to figure out what the issue is. Turns out, swig is a hard dependency in order to do the pip3 install, but it is not listed in the dependencies.

I found that I needed the following installed to fix M2Crypto install errors:

  • swig (as mentioned before)
  • libssl-dev (openssl-devel for fedora)
  • gcc
  • python3 (I used 3.11)

Please add these to the documentation. It fixes the "legacy-install-error" thrown by the M2Crypto compilation portion of setup.py.
