How to eliminate Error when installing web3.py

I am attempting to install web3 on my windows machine. I am using the Visual studio code terminal to do this. I have used both commands.

  1. pip install web3
  2. pip3 install web3

The first error I was getting was around the Visual studios build tools which I was able to install. Now when I run the command I get this error.

ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1: 'C:\Python310\python.exe' -u -c 'import io, os, sys, setuptools, tokenize; sys.argv[0] = '"'"'C:\\Users\\ealvarado\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\pip-install-nfyoy3t_\\cytoolz_9d52991e4515405886466c30cd8781ec\\setup.py'"'"'; __file__='"'"'C:\\Users\\ealvarado\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\pip-install-nfyoy3t_\\cytoolz_9d52991e4515405886466c30cd8781ec\\setup.py'"'"';f = getattr(tokenize, '"'"'open'"'"', open)(__file__) if os.path.exists(__file__) else io.StringIO('"'"'from setuptools import setup; setup()'"'"');code = f.read().replace('"'"'\r\n'"'"', '"'"'\n'"'"');f.close();exec(compile(code, __file__, '"'"'exec'"'"'))' install --record 'C:\Users\ealvarado\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-record-g88od3fy\install-record.txt' --single-version-externally-managed --compile --install-headers 'C:\Python310\Include\cytoolz' Check the logs for full command output.

the WARNING: Ignoring invalid distribution -ip (c:\python310\lib\site-packages) is because at some point in time pip failed to delete some temporary folder that it make while updating or installing or something, to get rip of it just go to the folder listed and delete the folders which name start with ~.

The other warning is for you to upgrade your pip, you should do that.

And for the error, I don't know, maybe that library don't support python 3.10 yet and that is why it fail and/or your outdated pip don't fetch the most current version by virtue of being outdated
