Installation of Slixfeed with pip fails

[Schimon Jehudah]

Greetings, to one and all!

My name is Schimon, and I am the developer of a news chat bot for the
XMPP network, called Slixfeed.

I have recently added support for OMEMO encryption, and a friend of
mine has reported that there is an issue installing it with pip.

I suppoes this is a fault of a package at PyPi, or a fault at my
pyproject.toml.

This is the link to the project:
https://git.xmpp-it.net/sch/Slixfeed#getting-started

Please advise,
Schimon

This question is like asking "My car won't run. I suppose it's the

Barry. Thomas. I agree.

I do not have his machine to make observations, and therefore this
report is obscured.

I want to solve an issue of a friend who has attempted to install
Slixfeed, which is based on OMEMO, and the installation has failed.

I have asked him to install python-omemo and he has reported this:

$ pip install omemo

[...]

ERROR Failed building wheel for XEdDSA
ERROR Could not build wheels for XEdDSA, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects

Please see the attached screenshot.

Kind regards,
Schimon

No screenshot arrived here, but this is a pretty typical failure,
especially on Windows systems: pip didn't find a suitable binary wheel
package for the Python version / platform combination, and so tried to
build one from sources. That often requires additional setup before it
can work.

The question would be why - I looked here:

https://pypi.org/project/XEdDSA/#files

and there are binary wheels for Windows, Linux, Mac for CPython 3.7
through 3.12, and also wheels for PyPy from 3.7 through 3.10, so unless
your friend's machine doesn't fit that range, you'd expect that
particular package to install okay.
