Hello,
unfortunately I also have the error message that has already appeared in other posts here:

WARNING: You are using pip version 20.2; however, version 21.3 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'c:\users\me\appdata\local\programs\python\python39\python.exe -m pip install --upgrade pip' command.

Unfortunately, the possible solutions from the other threads here have not helped me so far (at the end of this post is a short list of what I have already tried). Does anyone know of any other possible approaches? I can also post more messages if needed. Unfortunately, I don't know much about the problem to be able to narrow it down.

• In addition to Python 3.10.0 I have installed Python 3.9.6
• I have downgraded the pip version to 20.2
• I have updated the setuptools

• I also installed Visual Studio Build Tools 2019 (probably way too many individual components by now, but I'm not getting anywhere for days and I'm a bit desperate...):

Since I also got the following line output in my last post, I tried installing 'wheel' separately:
Using legacy 'setup.py install' for lru-dict, since package 'wheel' is not installed.
After that my output on pip install web3 changed as follows:

Failed to build lru-dict bitarray
DEPRECATION: Could not build wheels for lru-dict, bitarray which do not use PEP 517. pip will fall back to legacy 'setup.py install' for these. pip 21.0 will remove support for this functionality. A possible replacement is to fix the wheel build issue reported above. You can find discussion regarding this at https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/8368.

I'm afraid I'm not sure if this is progress or was rather a mistake....

I wasn't able to find anything which could help on this situation, rather than install Visual Studio libraries of manually install a specific whel version for web3, However I have a recommendation for you guys, try to run this on WSL2 (windows subsystem for linux) I know I know, it's linux and it could seem hard to understand but for the purposes you want it (manage python libraries) this solution will make your life easier as is much more easy to manage python libraries on linux, so here is a mini tutorial for wsl2 provided by microsoft:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install

Do not forget no install the VSCode extension: WSL in order to interact with it.

Hope this helps and also, learning linux will help you a lot on your developer journey ;)

Seems you are just missing Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 or greater is required.... I can find the same issue here and the answer provided there looks good to me, try that and let me know
