Installing websockify fails due to not finding cffi_modules or setuptools_rust on raspios lite. #547

These are the errors I am getting from installing websockify. This is an urgent request as websockify is part of the functional system we've built for video streaming.

UserWarning: Unknown distribution option: 'cffi_modules' ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'setuptools_rust'

Any help would be appreciated. just learning to use websockify.

Intending on setting up a different python apart from system python to see if we can fix the problem.

Found a workaround. Indeed installing python3.11 fixed the issue. Was able to build websockify.

Neither of those things are something that's referenced from websockify, so there must have been something odd with Python on that system. I'm glad you were able to find a fix for it.
