Cant get past pyzmq on install python for matrix creator

Help and Troubleshooting
#1

Went through installing Matrix Core on Raspi3b+ Buster
Everything fine.

Tried to next install Python
https://matrix-io.github.io/matrix-documentation/matrix-core/getting-started/python-installation/

all steps worked fine then wont get past pyzmq during:
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Note, after failing 3x, i tried python2 for grins and that worked ok
pip install -r requirements.txt

Any ideas?

Here is the error:

Failed building wheel for pyzmq
Running setup.py clean for pyzmq
Failed to build pyzmq

Hi @rickmini,

Would MATRIX Lite Py work for your project or do you particularly need ZeroMQ? Lite Py has much easier syntax and fewer dependencies.

I can try to see if I can replicate and figure out why pyzmq download is not working. It could be that the library does not support the new python version if you have a later version.

Best,
Samreen

I was able to get this to work by installing pyzmq without using wheel. I did:

pip3 install --no-binary pyzmq pyzmq
pip3 install tornado

Then I ran the example and everything worked like a charm!
