I am using Windows 10. I have Python 3.12.1 running in a virtual environment which still runs. I added Python 3.13.0 and started a new virtual environment for it. The virtual environment
was created and I used pip to install numpy, matplotlib and astropy with no problem. However,
when I tried to install jupyterlab using
python -m pip install jupyterlab
I received an error message:
Getting requirements to build wheel … done
Preparing metadata (pyproject.toml) … error
error: subprocess-exited-with-error× Preparing metadata (pyproject.toml) did not run successfully.

note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

I looked up Rust at https://rustup.rs/ but I am wondering why I need to install this or if something else is wrong.
