pip install pcapy subprocess-exited-with-error

I'm trying to install pcapy for a project, and this error is coming. I have all the updated softwares, and I use wireshark, so I didn't have to install Npcap as it was already installed with wireshark.

I'm getting this error while installing:

project> pip install pcapy --pre
Collecting pcapy
  Using cached pcapy-0.11.4.tar.gz (37 kB)
  Preparing metadata (setup.py) ... error
  error: subprocess-exited-with-error

  × python setup.py egg_info did not run successfully.

      AttributeError: module 'distutils.sysconfig' has no attribute '_init_posix'
      [end of output]

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
error: metadata-generation-failed

× Encountered error while generating package metadata.
╰─> See above for output.

note: This is an issue with the package mentioned above, not pip.
hint: See above for details.

I tried reinstalling Python, ran the code in admin mode. But none of them seem to work.

I ran this command:

pip install wheel setuptools pip --upgrade

It said requirements already satisfied.
