ERROR: Could not build wheels for pendulum, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects

Question

I'm trying to install rpaframework via pip install rpaframework on my laptop in pycharm ide.

Environment:

• Window 10
• Python 3.12.2
• pip 24.0

Error:

    raise CalledProcessError(retcode, cmd)
    subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command '['C:/Program Files/Python312/python.exe', 'build.py']' returned non-zero exit status 1.
      [end of output]

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

What I tried :

• pip install pendulum==2.0.3

• pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel

Please help. Tried most of the solutions I could find online, and as the last resort, posting it on stackoverflow.
