I continue to get this error when trying to install the package on PyCharm.

Answers:

I had the same issue.

As I was trying to install the rusty-rlp package itself downloading the files from the web, I realized there is no option (wheel or zip file) for 32-bit python installations.

I’m on a 64-bit windows PC but for some reason I had a Python-32bit version running so, I Installed Python38-64bit and ran Pip again and the issue with web3 disappeared.

@viken answer is true! But in my case I had to uninstall Python 3.9 and install Python 3.8.7 to be able to install rusty-rlp.
