Additional context

I'm having an issue on installing requirements. In command prompt with admin privileges I've come through requirements step with no issues. I've also successfully installed Visual Studio desktop development with C++. However when I try to install dependencies from requirements.txt the setup will end in building Levenshtein repository. So, it stops there. Tried to discuss in Telegram group as well however I wasn't allowed to post messages there. So, please help me regarding this issue. Detailed screenshots of each step leading to error are shown below.

I do face the same problem.

It seems Levenshtein isn't yet compatible with Python 3.13, The _PyLong_AsByteArray function signature changed in Python 3.13, and the python-Levenshtein package hasn't been updated to reflect this causing the Cmake instructions to fail. You'll need to clear that environment and install Python 3.12 and run it again.

As of today, Levenshtein is compatible with Python 3.13, but requirements.txt should be updated. Updating the relevant package in requirements.txt to Levenshtein==0.26.1 should temporarily resolve the issue. I suggest the author to update this too.

This worked for me. Thanks
