Why am I getting an error when running "$ pip install web3" and how can I fix it?

Question

When I run $ pip install web3, I get an error about lru-dict not installing, and I can't figure out why.

I have installed VS 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2022, including each different SDK option based on different questions/answers that proved to help others here, yet I am still getting the error. I have also removed Python from my system and re-installed, trying 3.9 and 3.10 both in separate venvs, before trying $ pip3 install --upgrade web3

I did perform these also:

$ pip3 install --upgrade pip, install, py-solc-x, distlib, and setuptools.

I have also done

$ pip3 install --upgrade wheel

but that then creats another error including the same one I have currently so I reverted.
