Requirements.txt failed to install with obscure issue with installing audioread

I ran into a few issues along the way that I was able to solve, namely errors like this:

  WARNING: Failed to write executable - trying to use .deleteme logic
ERROR: Could not install packages due to an OSError: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified: 
'C:\\Python310\\Scripts\\f2py.exe' -> 'C:\\Python310\\Scripts\\f2py.exe.deleteme'

I fixed these by adding --user to the pip command.

I also had to change requirements.txt to a newer version of numpy (1.22.1) to prevent it from failing to install due to older versions not being compatible with the version of Python I already have installed (3.10.6)

But now I'm stuck on this one:

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

× Encountered error while trying to install package.
╰─> audioread

note: This is an issue with the package mentioned above, not pip.
hint: See above for output from the failure.

I'm not sure if the issue is due to "setup.py install" being deprecated; if that's the case I have no idea what the fix is because I think this is being required somewhere else - maybe another package needs a newer version? But I have no idea which one.

I also thought maybe it could be that wheel wasn't installed, since package 'wheel' is not installed. but when I try to install it, it says it's already installed:

C:\> pip install wheel --user

Requirement already satisfied: wheel in c:\python310\lib\site-packages (0.37.1)

There's also the invalid variable error, but I have no idea what this is talking about.
