Answer 1

The problem you're bumping up against is bcrypt has C++ / binary dependencies.

On some platforms it is very easy to obtain a compiler toolchain, such as clang or gcc, and suitable header files. On yours it might be somewhat inconvenient to obtain e.g. Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0. Pip is very good at handling python deps. Less so for complex binary deps. Conda was designed to offer good solutions to exactly this problem.

Get it from: https://docs.conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/user-guide/install

Discard requirements.txt in favor of a new environment.yml file:

name: my-project  # or feel free to invent a better name :)

channels:
- conda-forge

dependencies:
- bcrypt
- flask
- flask-cors
- flask-jwt-extended
- flask-pymongo
- pip
- pyjwt
- python >= 3.9.9

Run conda env update:

Collecting package metadata (repodata.json): done
Solving environment: done

Downloading and Extracting ...
done
#
# To activate this environment, use
#
#     $ conda activate my-project

That "activate" command will alter your PATH, giving you a brand new python interpreter which has all needed libraries available to it. Have fun with your new project!
