Hello @nicky-nordbo,

we're sorry for the inconvenience.
"data_io" is an internal package which is not published to github and therefore not available.
For now you can simply remove lines 21 and 29 in the pyproject.toml which mention "data_io", like this:

[build-system]
requires = ["setuptools>=69", "wheel"]
build-backend = "setuptools.build_meta"

[project]
name = "visionary-python-base"
version = "1.2.0"
description = "Base Python interfaces for SICK Visionary devices"
requires-python = ">=3.8"
dependencies = [
    "numpy",
    "scikit-image",
]

[tool.setuptools]
packages = [
    "python_base",
    "python_base.Protocol",
    "python_base.Streaming",
    "python_base.PointCloud"
]

[tool.setuptools.package-dir]
"python_base" = "."
"python_base.Protocol" = "Protocol"
"python_base.Streaming" = "Streaming"
"python_base.PointCloud" = "PointCloud"

The script should then run successfully.
Thank you for filing this bug report. We will fix it as soon as possible.

Best regards
