Problems with rasa installation on Python 3.10

[AlvaroLeles]

Rasa Open Source version

3.3.3

Rasa SDK version

No response

Python version

3.10

What operating system are you using?

Linux

What happened?

When trying to install Rasa with pip3 install rasa command, I get an error saying that "python setup.py egg_info did not run successfully." and "RuntimeError: Python version 2.7 or 3.4+ is required." even though I had Python 3.10 in my machine.

I saw some comments in internet saying that Rasa does not support Python 3.10, would it be interesting to put this information in the README and in the documentation?

Command / Request

pip3 install rasa

Relevant log output

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

note: This is an issue with the package mentioned above, not pip.
