Can't import using pip with Python 3.9.12: ERROR: Could not build wheels for rl

[ege-cavus]

I'm trying to import the rl packet using pip install in anaconda prompt(same problem in cmd) but the system can't seem to build a wheel for this package. I am using Python 3.9.12 for this system. I've found out that this problem may occur when the packet is not able to handle my python version. The documentation mentions about the usability of the packet over Python version 2.7 but it does not mention anything about the newest version it can be used in. Is there such a limitation for this package?

If it should work fine with 3.9.12, what may be the problem causing the wheel building error?

Below you can find the full error message:

readline and by extension rl are not made for Windows and I am pretty sure will not work there. If this is WSL (just a guess), make sure you have things like libncurses, tar, and autoconf installed.

I should probably add a proper platform restriction...
