Question

I keep getting the same message, it says I need to Install Visual Studio but I already have it, (maybe pip doesn’t recognize it? or its a bad installation?) I am running on windows have python 3.10, and Visual Studio 2022 community with the python extension.
here is the entire log:

Answer 1

After a bit of digging around, I found that the package is only compatible for python 3.6 and 3.7 not to mention it doesn’t work on windows NT or 11… which is really sad in my opinion, apriltags and fiducials in general are growing and for a good reason, why not make the package compatible with 3.10+ (did something change that made it incompatible?) anyway this is me saying to whoever made pupil-apriltags, please fix this!

ps: I did manage to pip install the package in WSL Python 3.7.
