What works
installing other packages works, e.g.
py -3.10-64 -m pip install -U mido
Requirement already satisfied: mido in c:\python311\lib\site-packages (1.2.10)
Version info
Windows 10 22H2
pip 23.0.1 from C:\Python311\Lib\site-packages\pip (python 3.11)
Context
This is used in the fluidpatcher installer, I logged a bug here.
Update 1
Seems to be a known issue reported here: https://github.com/wxWidgets/Phoenix/issues/2296
Tried workaround of manually installing
py -3.10-64 -m pip install -U attrdict3
Which installs.
Then retried the wxpython install
py -3.10-64 -m pip install -U wxpython
Which fails, this time with a different error message

Installing collected packages: wxpython
DEPRECATION: wxpython is being installed using the legacy 'setup.py install' method, because it does not have a 'pyproject.toml' and the 'wheel' package is not installed. pip 23.1 will enforce this behaviour change. A possible replacement is to enable the '--use-pep517' option. Discussion can be found at https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/8559

Installation py-pde issues

I am trying to install the python package py-pde.
My current python version is 3.9.
I pip install using the command 'pip install py-pde' on the terminal.
However, when I try to install it on my IDE - PyCharm - I get this error:

Any ideas what's wrong here?
Specifically, it says can't install on Python 3.11, even though I checked my python version using pip --version to be 3.9.
Not sure what's wrong. Help appreciated.

Should be as simple as alt+ctrl+s to go to settings.
Then navigate to Project: "Your project" >> Python Interpreter. Then just browse to the interpreter you want to use instead of 3.11.
Edit: Here's a link to JetBrains (PyCharm parent company) documentation that covers changing your interpreter.

I don't specifically know which packages cause this error, a lot of them install without any problems.
I have tried updating pip, changing environment variables and other possible solutions I've found on the internet, but nothing seems to work.
Edit: The package I am trying to install supports my Python version.

The real error in your case is:
ImportError: cannot import name 'msvccompiler' from 'distutils'
It occured because setuptools has broken distutils in version 65.0.0 (and has already fixed it in version 65.0.2). According to your log, the error occured in your global setuptools installation (see the path in error message), so you need to update it with the following command:
pip install -U setuptools
Those packages, however, may still not get installed or not work properly as the module causing this error doesn't support compiler versions needed for currently supported versions of Python.

Same thing happened with me, it was basically pip's version problem.
Try upgrading pip to latest version --22.3.1 and downgrade the python version from latest version --3.10.00 to 3.9.13...
pip --version check for pip's version
pip install notebook --upgrade -command to update pip to latest version
This worked for me

Problems installing certain libraries in python using pip in Spyder

I’ve been running into the same error message with multiple libraries, not all libraries but randomly.
All I could find here and on other equation boards was that I need to upgrade my pip, it’s upgraded to the max (22.1.2) but I still get the same error, no with the added “WARNING: There was an error checking the latest version of pip.”
So this is what I get when I try to install pyinstaller

For people which will have similiar problem (on Windows)
Main problem is termcolor.
It seems it tries to import VERSION from new version (before instalation) but it behaves like it would load older versions which doesn't have VERSION.
You may download termcolor as file .whl from
Unofficial Windows Binaries for Python Extension Packages
and try to install
pip install termcolor‑1.1.0‑py2.py3‑none‑any.whl

If termcolor‑1.1.0‑py2.py3‑none‑any.whl can no longer be found on Unofficial Windows Binaries for Python Extension Packages you may find it here termcolor-whl · PyPI
