pip install failed after 2024.07.21(releasing v0.5.0)

My project uses easyocr==1.7.1 , and after the release of python-bidi 0.5.0, pip install prints error like below.

Now I force the python-bidi version to 0.4.2, and it just works.

What operating system are you using?

Cargo, the Rust package manager, is not installed or is not on PATH. This package requires Rust and Cargo to compile extensions. Install it through the system's package manager or via https://rustup.rs/

There are pre-built wheels for many Architecture/OS/Python combos, to prevent the need for building them, see: https://pypi.org/project/python-bidi/#files

What's your combo?

Ah, I've just run into this as well, on an intel Mac with py3.10. Interestingly there are wheels for both ARM and Intel for py3.11 but only the ARM wheel for 3.10

Could be something with the maturin generated CI.yml. Need to dig into it,

[MeirKriheli]

0.5.2 explicitly states python versions for MacOS in CI.yaml. This should resolve this.

Re-open if not.
