There are already a few PRs trying to address this:

• Update setup.py #95
• Fix formatting issue in setup.py #97
• Fix missing comma in setup.py #99

Pinning the install version to this commit works around the issue until the main branch is fixed., i.e.

  - name: tap-spreadsheets-anywhere
    variant: ets
    pip_url: git+https://github.com/ets/tap-spreadsheets-anywhere.git@a780e6b

Hi Eric. Thank you so much for conceiving and maintaining this package. Can we humbly ask you to fix the silly setup.py typo in the main branch, and possibly follow the suggestion by @chris-s-friedman for better release procedures? 🙏

• Can you use releases so we can pin this plugin to a version #96

Please also let us know if you would like to see some maintenance support from the community. We think this package is very important for the Singer/Meltano communities, so we might be able to lend a hand.
