Pip installation fails on windows

[oldpoppasmurf]

Hello, I was trying to install pybinding for python 3.12 on windows using command prompt and had the cmake make list error from #46,
and got the same setup tools error but it is not fixed when I use pip install setuptools as it says I already have an up to date version,
as seen here:

Currently, so haven't compiled with 3.12 yet. You have to download visual studio to be able to compile it on Windows. Just install 3.11 and it will work. I'll try to get a new release out next week for 3.12, but this will take some time.

Hi Bert,
Thanks for the fast response, I moved over to visual studio code and used miniconda to set up a 3.11 enviroment with the required dependancies but have been given a different error where pip gives a package dependencies error based off pytests, see below

ERROR: Cannot install pybinding==1.0.1, pybinding==1.0.2 and pybinding==1.0.3 because these package versions have conflicting dependencies.

The conflict is caused by:
pybinding 1.0.3 depends on pytest>=5.0
pybinding 1.0.2 depends on pytest>=5.0
pybinding 1.0.1 depends on pytest>=5.0

To fix this you could try to:

1. loosen the range of package versions you've specified
2. remove package versions to allow pip attempt to solve the dependency conflict

Hi,
You first need to run:
'pip install numpy pytest scipy matplotlib'
and then the installation of pybinding from test.pypi.org.
When on 3.11, the pybinding library is precompiled, so visual studio is not really necessary.
