"import rapidfuzz" causes "illegal hardware instruction"

[workflowsguy]

While I had used rapidfuzz previously without issues in my Python scripts, now every script that uses it crashes with an error such as illegal hardware instruction (Console) or Terminated due to signal: ILLEGAL INSTRUCTION (4) (Development environment)

The simplest script to demonstrate this just consists of

import rapidfuzz

Versions: rapidfuzz 3.9.0 (installed with pip install rapidfuzz) Python 3.11.9

After I reverted to rapidfuzz 3.8.1, the issue did not occur anymore

Thanks!
