I also had this issue. I was able to work around it by first running

pip install sqlalchemy-migrate

and then running

pip install camelot

My system information: macOS 13.3.1 (a)

$ pip --version
pip 23.2.1 from /opt/homebrew/lib/python3.11/site-packages/pip (python 3.11)

[kerrickstaley]

Actually, the reason that this is happening is because we're trying to install the Camelot PyPI package, which is unrelated to this project. We should be installing camelot-py instead.

See https://github.com/camelot-dev/camelot/issues/394 for a workaround.
