Constant errors when installing ccxt module in python

Question

New to python but not to coding and just getting to grips with installing modules. Seem to get pretty far when installing ccxt with py -m pip install ccxt except it keeps throwing an error:

ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1:

is anyone one with the machines and able to help me decipher this and hopefully help me fix the ish?

also getting this issue in the IDLE. my code reads import ccxt, print(ccxt.exchanges) and this is all im getting back:

For your second error, It's module error , Try `pip install cryptography`. — Vishal Kamlapure, Dec 26 '20 at 18:17

As your error message says ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'cryptography', I'd try to install that module:

pip install cryptography

to remove that Microsoft Visuallc++ error you wll have to install Build tools from https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/thank-you-downloading-visual-studio/?sku=BuildTools&rel=16 and later you can do

pip install cryptography

As you can see it gets installed
