how to install the library without virtual environment?

[ukBaz]

You haven't shown early enough in your install what commands you are using. I'm assuming that you have done:

$ python3 -m venv venv_ble
$ . venv_ble/bin/activate
$ pip3 install BLE_GATT

And that is when you are seeing the error?

Try upgrading your version of pip by using:

$ pip3 install pip --upgrade

If that doesn't work then please show what commands you are using to create the Python virtual environment and pip install commands.
