[Bug-Candidate]: ERROR: Failed building wheel for pysha3

[alexisdavidson]

Describe the issue:

Hi, when I try to install with pip install slither-analyzer, I get the error "ERROR: Failed building wheel for pysha3". I did already install the Windows build tools. I can't find much help on Google unfortunately. I am on Windows 11.

Code example to reproduce the issue:

pip install slither-analyzer

Version:

not installed

Relevant log output:

PS C:\Users\Alexis> pip3 install pysha3

Hi @alexisdavidson, thanks for the report! This is the same issue discussed here: crytic/solc-select#125

Unfortunately the pysha3 dependency has been unmaintained for a while and cannot be built with Python 3.11. There is an open pull request to replace it with something maintained, #1454, so it should be resolved soon. In the meantime you can use Python 3.10 or earlier to run the crytic tools.

Thank you, downgrading to Python 3.10 fixed it!!
