Visual Studio Code – How to install scikit-surprise from the ground up

I’m a colleague student and I’m trying to install scikit-surprise but I encountered errors after errors. I have install Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022, install all the packages (numpy, wheel, …), used Microsoft Visual Studio installer to install requirements, using anaconda to update and install scikit-surprise but it still returns an error and I cannot import surprise in my python code. The error message is:

      C:UsersnameAppDataLocalProgramsPythonPython312Libsite-packagessetuptoolscommandbuild_py.py:207: _Warning: Package 'surprise.prediction_algorithms' is absent from the `packages` configuration.
      !!

              ********************************************************************************
              ############################
              # Package would be ignored #
              ############################
              Python recognizes 'surprise.prediction_algorithms' as an importable package[^1],
              but it is absent from setuptools' `packages` configuration.

              This leads to an ambiguous overall configuration. If you want to distribute this
              package, please make sure that 'surprise.prediction_algorithms' is explicitly added
              to the `packages` configuration field.

              Alternatively, you can also rely on setuptools' discovery methods
              (for example by using `find_namespace_packages(...)`/`find_namespace:`
              instead of `find_packages(...)`/`find:`).

              You can read more about "package discovery" on setuptools documentation page:

              - https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/userguide/package_discovery.html

              If you don't want 'surprise.prediction_algorithms' to be distributed and are
              already explicitly excluding 'surprise.prediction_algorithms' via
              `find_namespace_packages(...)/find_namespace` or `find_packages(...)/find`,
              you can try to use `exclude_package_data`, or `include-package-data=False` in
              combination with a more fine grained `package-data` configuration.

              You can read more about "package data files" on setuptools documentation page:

              - https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/userguide/datafiles.html


              [^1]: For Python, any directory (with suitable naming) can be imported,
                    even if it does not contain any `.py` files.
                    On the other hand, currently there is no concept of package data
                    directory, all directories are treated like packages.

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

Can someone show me how to install scikit-surprise from the ground up?

    I am also facing the same issues.
    I will appreciate any assistance.

      surprise/similarities.c(27856): error C2039: 'ob_digit': is not a member of '_longobject'

    this is an incompatibility between the suprise source code surprise/similarities.c and an include file from python ...Python312includecpython/longintrepr.h

    So it looks like there is a mismatch between supported python versions and the one you have. And indeed, if we check scikit-suprise 1.1.3 on pypi, you can see that supported python versions only go up to 3.10. Nonetheless, the newest version 1.1.4 lists python 3.12 as a supported version, so you can

    a) try to install pip install scikit-suprise==1.1.4, or
    b) downgrade your python version to 3.10 and try again with your installation
