Multiple issues to support Paperpi on raspberrypiOS trixie release

[root-intruder]

Describe the bug

Fresh install using the remote installer on Raspberry Pi OS (aarch64) with Python 3.13 fails in multiple places:
    lgpio build fails first due to missing swig, then later links fail with -llgpio not found
    The PaperPi service then errors with ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distutils' (Python 3.13)
    After some retries, the service reaches gpiozero and crashes with a KeyError for PinInfo(number=22, name='GPIO25') during display init

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Fresh Raspberry Pi OS (64-bit), Python 3.13
Run: /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/txoof/PaperPi/main/install/remote_install.sh
)"
Let the installer finish, service starts automatically
Check logs: sudo systemctl status paperpi-daemon.service sudo journalctl -u paperpi-daemon -n 100 --no-pager
See errors below

Expected behavior

Installer should succeed without manual intervention on Python 3.13, or use a supported Python version automatically
GPIO backend (lgpio/pigpio) should be installed/configured so the Waveshare 2.7" module initializes without errors
Service should start and drive the display

Hardware

Full EPD version: Waveshare 2.7" (exact variant unknown; please advise if a specific module name is required)
Pi Version (use cat /proc/device-tree/model) Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Rev 1.2

Additional context
trying the development build also fails due to 64bit OS, which is now default

@root-intruder Thanks for the bug report. I'll see if I can get to porting this to Trixie. I'm still running on older releases.

I ran into the same installation errors while running on a Raspberry Pi OS (64-bit) on the newest release of Trixie. The new OS removes the legacy GPIO stack (RPi.GPIO) and several of PaperPi's dependencies still require those libraries (including G. Meyer's IT8951 and epdlib). This will require several patches to the basic requirements of PaperPi. Until then, a legacy version of the Pi OS must be used to display anything.

@court-av Thanks for the tip.

I haven't had time to look at this. I'm afraid that without the IT8951 library, I won't be able to port this forward.
