Error when using pip install for fitsio

[SCO-SCI]

I attempted to use pip install for fitsio on a Windows 10, 64-bit machine today. Here are the errors I encountered:

PS C:\Users\Ed> pip install fitsio Collecting fitsio Using cached fitsio-1.2.3.tar.gz (4.5 MB) Preparing metadata (setup.py) ... done Requirement already satisfied: numpy in c:\users\ed\appdata\local\programs\python\python311\lib\site-packages (from fitsio) (1.23.5) Building wheels for collected packages: fitsio Building wheel for fitsio (setup.py) ... error error: subprocess-exited-with-error

      ############################
      Python recognizes 'fitsio.test_images' as an importable package,
      but it is not listed in the `packages` configuration of setuptools.

      'fitsio.test_images' has been automatically added to the distribution only
      because it may contain data files, but this behavior is likely to change
      in future versions of setuptools (and therefore is considered deprecated).

      Please make sure that 'fitsio.test_images' is included as a package by using
      the `packages` configuration field or the proper discovery methods
      (for example by using `find_namespace_packages(...)`/`find_namespace:`
      instead of `find_packages(...)`/`find:`).

      You can read more about "package discovery" and "data files" on setuptools
      documentation page.
