Building wheel for aiohttp (pyproject.toml) ... error error: subprocess-exited-with-error
Building wheel for aiohttp (pyproject.toml) did not run successfully. exit code: 1 [110 lines of output]`
This is the error I get when in try to install a library with the code pip install discord.py
Can someone help me find what this error is about and how can I correct it?
After looking on internet, I have found people downgrading their version of python to make sure that it is compatible. For that, I installed Miniconda and created a new environment where I downloaded the 3.8 version of python (I have the 3.12 on my computer). But I still get the exact same error.
If you see the message Building wheel for, it indicates that it is trying to build the package on your computer and not downloading a pre-built package.
You can see in the pypi page of aiohttp that the package was not compiled for 3.12, but was only compiled for versions between 3.6 to 3.11 https://pypi.org/project/aiohttp/#files , possibly there is a good reason for that.
You probably are still running with python 3.12 and did not activate the conda environment before trying to run pip install. Optionally, you can verify this by running which pip, which will show you which pip installation are you running. (If you are using windows, then you can use the where.exe instead of the which command)
See this for activating the environment: https://conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/user-guide/tasks/manage-environments.html#activating-an-environment
