I can't reproduce this problem, and the error message seems really odd.

1. What operating system are you using?
2. Which version of Python are you using?
3. Please post the full output of pip, not just the final error, so I have a better chance of figuring this out.

Iam using python 3.12. Iam on a windows. The full output is really big

[Casper-Guo]

Just as a sanity check I tried on a fresh Linux environment with Python version 3.10.9 and cannot reproduce

[theOehrly]

I tested Python 3.10 and 3.12 on Windows and it's fine. Apart from that, the last release is long enough ago that it can't be a widespread issue or more people would have encountered it.

@pavankay I know the full output is long but I don't think we are getting anywhere with the current information.
Therefore, please post the full output here or use a service like pastebin.com and share the link here.

The cause is "failed building wheel for Pandas". Try the following first:

pip install --upgrade wheel setuptools

pip install pandas --no-cache-dir

You probably shouldn't be installing anything into an environment in the OneDrive directory anyways. It tends to be very slow.

@pavankay you should try @Casper-Guo's suggestion first. But I am not sure whether that will fix the problem or not.

The problem is that pandas needs to be built from sources. FastF1 is not (yet) compatible with the latest versions of Pandas due to some unexpected API changes in Pandas 2.1.0. But the older versions of Pandas don't have pre-built wheels for Python 3.12.

This line
error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 or greater is required. Get it with "Microsoft C++ Build Tools": https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/
suggests that you might actually need to install a compiler + build tools.

Alternatively, you could use Python 3.11 where pre-built wheels for all dependencies should be available.

[pavankay]

My project requires python 3.12 is there any other way and if I need to use the cpp tools could explain what I should do?

[theOehrly]

@pavankay you need to do what the PIP error message suggests and download and install the build tools from the provided link.

@theOehrly Thanks that worked great!
