Please someone should help!!
CodePudding user response：
You can try to install the wheel first: pip install wheel. Then you can avoid using setup.py install.
And you can update the Microsoft Visual C to 14 or greater like the error message suggestted.
CodePudding user response：
Sidenote: The error originates from installing lru-dict, not web3 directly.
You seem to have visual studio 2022 installed. You should check that you have installed all optional features needed for compiling for python (from here):
Install the Python development workload and the optional Python native development tools option.
Install the latest Windows SDK (under Native development in the installer).
Optional: Set $env:PlatformToolset to your toolset version before building, if it doesn't detect it. (Alternatively, you could open the developer command prompt)
Update to the latest setuptools Python package version
Especially the last is needed to have support for the latest compilers. Run pip install --upgrade setuptools. Then try to install again
