Hey so I'm trying to install eth-brownie with pipx using the command:
pipx install eth-brownie
Unfortunatly this gives me an error message which I'm having a lot of trouble understanding. I know I should be able to install it using pip but using pipx gives me the freedom of having venv with it. Is there anyway I can make this work using pipx? Below is my error message:

Welp turns out that brownie doesnt work for python 3.10.0 atm no matter what you do. I installed pyenv-win to deal with this and ended up reinstalling everything into a python 3.9.9 version which is compatible with eth-brownie and everything worked. kind of a pain to run pip-install on everything again but its worth it in the end if everything works i guess. good luck to everyone with the same issue.
