Issue when pip installing acc-app-optimisation in the virtual network

There is a bug when installing the deprecated gym package in the Technical Machine (virtual machine for CCC).

See also this commit from Francesco Velotti on another package: abt-optics-and-code-repository/commissioning-tools/cern-general-devices@c1695078

In the setup.py this line should be changed

"box2d": ["box2d-py==2.3.5", "pygame==2.1.0", "swig==4.*"],

to this

"box2d": ["box2d-py==2.3.5", "pygame==2.1.0", "swig==4.0"],

Error message:

Hi, thank you for your report! Could you tell me the steps you went through to produce this error? I just tried the following and failed to reproduce it:

[acc-py] $ acc-py venv venv
[acc-py] $ . venv/bin/active
(venv) [acc-py] $ pip install acc-app-optimisation

Full output of pip is here.

Note that the extra dependency on Swig was only added in Gym v0.25.2. Since this package depends on cernml-coi, which requires gym<0.22, and on stable-baselines3, which requires gym==0.21, this typo in Gym's setup.py file should not be relevant.
