metadata-generation-failed (py 3.8, windows 10)

[McPxl]

I first tried to install pyo with python 3.12 then realized that that version wasn't supported ( kept getting stuck at the build wheel step) so I switched to 3.8.
And now I keep getting this error

C:\Users\nelly\pyo>py -3.8 -m pip install --user pyo
