I'm puzzled by the following issue. I have a Mac M3 with the following characteristics.

enter image description here

I have Python 3.12.6. I have been trying to install pyo (https://pypi.org/project/pyo/1.0.1/). After many issues with the location of the headers, I could solve all the "I do not find blablaheader.h" with the following command:

pip3 install --global-option='build_ext' --global-option='-I/opt/homebrew/Cellar/portaudio/19.7.0/include’ --global-option='-L/opt/homebrew/Cellar/portaudio/19.7.0/lib’ pyo==1.0.1

But now I have the following error and it is very puzzling. It looks like a C error syntax on an extension?

ERROR: Failed building wheel for pyo Failed to build pyo

I really doubt extensions had this kind of error, so it is most probably a C version issue. Maybe it is C++, and my system only has a C compiler? I do not know.

I really need some "directions" here.

The answer is that the extension does have a problem. More specifically, it has a syntax error. The author of pyo has omitted the parentheses from the condition expression of the if-statement, which is not permitted in C. Presumably, a previous version of libpython defined the PyList_Check(...) macro with enclosing parentheses that have been removed since then.

The simplest solution is to install a newer version of pyo that has corrected the syntax error; 1.0.4 appears to be the oldest version that has corrected the syntax error. 1.0.5 is the most recent version.

If you absolutely must use version 1.0.1, then you should write a patch. The steps to do that are as follows:

  1. Download a copy of the source code (see this answer)
  2. Locate the problem and fix it.
  3. Install the package from the directory with pip path/to/directory (see this answer)
  4. Repeat from step 2 if compilation still fails.
