I don't know how to resolve this issue. I tried to install other xmlsec package too, nothing worked.

Fast forward to 2023 and the issue happened w/me on macOS. It seems like we are Unable to (pip install xmlsec) since brew version 4.0.13. A variation of dpritchett's workaround plus johnnymetz's comment saved me, which consists on:

manually reverting to a copy of the last known good pre-1.3.0 xmlsec1 version (1.2.37) Formula:

  1. brew edit libxmlsec1; an editor opens up, full of the contents of the latest downloaded xmlsec formula
  2. paste in the contents of the last pre-1.3.0 brew formula and save it (vim: wq!)*
  3. brew unlink libxmlsec1
  4. Install that local formula: brew install /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-core/Formula/libxmlsec1.rb
  5. pip install xmlsec

* On my setup steps 1 & 2 were not necessary; I pasted here a variation of their answer on the same link

Solution for my MacBook Air (M2, 2022) running macOS Monterey

xcode-select --install
brew upgrade
brew install libxml2 libxmlsec1
pip install xmlsec

!REBOOT!
Create virtual env with python 3.10 (probably 3.8/3.9 works too but didn't test)

python3.10 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install xmlsec

I was getting below error while installation of sentry

ERROR: Could not build wheels for xmlsec which use PEP 517 and cannot be installed directly

Xmlsec listed here https://pypi.org/project/xmlsec/. The below command should install for download required native libraries.

sudo apt-get install pkg-config libxml2-dev libxmlsec1-dev libxmlsec1-openssl

I had a similar issue with installing xmlsec. What did it for me was reinstalling the required native libraries listed here: https://pypi.org/project/xmlsec/

It was as simple as installing: brew install libxml2 libxmlsec1 pkg-config

i had similar issue but instead of "pkg-config" error, i had error with "xmlsec1" so i used the command

sudo apt-get install libxmlsec1-dev pkg-config

as per Could not find xmlsec1 config. Are libxmlsec1-dev and pkg-config installed?

This indicates that the wheels you are trying to install aren't supported by PEP 517. Try upgrading the following packages then trying to install again

pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel
