ERROR: Could not build wheels for backports.zoneinfo, [ on ARM64]

[gauss345]

Good day,

we are currently trying to install apscheduler, which as a dependency has backports.zoneinfo.

We are trying to install this , on a arm64 device:

FROM arm64v8/python:3.8.13-slim

OUTPUT from wheel being build:

I've tried various version[s] of an ARM64 python image. unfortunately we are locked into using python 3.8 for our projects.

Is there any advice here ?

I'm guessing you need to install gcc.

After some effort, and realising that no ARM wheel exists, I found the solution by changing to a different image: arm64v8/python:3.8.13-bullseye ...

gcc was installed, but certain required files were not to do the wheel build, I guess... anyway, seems resolved now... thanks

Hello, how did you solve it? Can you elaborate on that? I need your help
