Were you able to figure out the solution to this installation?

[jacobkahn]

Apologies, I've been off the grid. Issue here is that a Python 3.12 wheel hasn't been published, and the sdist build doesn't include the version file, so that fails. I will push fixes to both of these. Thanks for flagging.

[sahaj-wispr]

Thank you so much - greatly appreciate it. Please let me know once those fixes are pushed!

I have Python 3.10.11 here and getting the same error while doing pip install in a clean venv.
