Since upgrarding to Python 3.9.2 and trying to create new venv for some of my projects and install the requirements, some of the packages are erroring out. Two that I've had trouble with so far are python-levenshtein and fasttext. I'm on Windows 10.
I've tried upgrading pip, installing frow powershell instead of inside VSCODE, installing wheel, installing directly instead of using requirements.txt. I've read a bunch of questions on here which I'll leave links below. There's quite alot of output but it's generally some variation on this depending on the package:
Running setup.py clean for fasttext

How can I fix this?
Will it just be a case of using Pyhon 3.8 for these projects for now?
EDIT: The problem doesn't seem to be limited to Python version 3.9.2. I've tried installing on 3.8.8 and 3.8.0 32 Bit as I have both of these installed on my system and I'm getting the exact same issue.
