Description

Hi,

When I tried to use pip install -U contextualized-topic-models in Anaconda prompt and the new set environment ctm, I got error:

Building wheels for collected packages: gensim
  Building wheel for gensim (setup.py) ... error
  error: subprocess-exited-with-error

  × python setup.py bdist_wheel did not run successfully.

     [end of output]

 note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
 ERROR: Failed building wheel for gensim
 Running setup.py clean for gensim
Failed to build gensim
ERROR: Could not build wheels for gensim, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects

How to fix it? I also tried the installing on another Windows machine, it failed also. I tried it on Linux, it could import successfully, but I am more familiar with Windows.

Hi @1202010685 - first thing I'd try is to use a different version of Python. Try creating a new venv with Python 3.8 instead.

The error you're hitting is for building the specified version of gensim 4.2.0 using a particular compiler on Windows. It's an upstream dependency of this package that might not sit well with the Windows Python 3.11 C compiler.

Hi, I appreciate your magical response. It worked!
