    Barry. Thomas. I agree.

    I do not have his machine to make observations, and therefore this
    report is obscured.

    I want to solve an issue of a friend who has attempted to install
    Slixfeed, which is based on OMEMO, and the installation has failed.

    I have asked him to install python-omemo and he has reported this:

    $ pip install omemo

    [...]

    ERROR Failed building wheel for XEdDSA
    ERROR Could not build wheels for XEdDSA, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects

    Please see the attached screenshot.

    Kind regards,
    Schimon

    No screenshot arrived here, but this is a pretty typical failure,
    especially on Windows systems: pip didn't find a suitable binary wheel
    package for the Python version / platform combination, and so tried to
    build one from sources. That often requires additional setup before it
    can work.

    The question would be why - I looked here:

    https://pypi.org/project/XEdDSA/#files

    and there are binary wheels for Windows, Linux, Mac for CPython 3.7
    through 3.12, and also wheels for PyPy from 3.7 through 3.10, so unless
    your friend's machine doesn't fit that range, you'd expect that
    particular package to install okay.
