Adafruit_BBIO not installing with Python 13.1

[sael17]

Hi! Recently I was tasked on upgrading a BeagleBone Black’s Python version from 3.9 to 3.13. I followed the steps found in this page: . Then, when I tried installing the Adafruit-BBIO API using pip install, it fails. Here is the final message I get: ERROR: Failed building wheels for some pyproject.toml based projects. I also noticed this message: I error: command 'usr/bin/gcc' failed with exit 1 I am using the following BeagleBone Build: am335x-debian-11-7-2023-08-05-4gb-emmc-iot-flasher I installed the latest OS updates and upgrades and tried the following options:

• Linked all pip options to pip3.13

(
sudo ln -sf $(which pip3.13) /usr/bin/pip
sudo ln -sf $(which pip3.13) /usr/bin/pip3
)

• pip3.13 install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel

• Installing Missing System Dependencies

(sudo apt install build-essential python3.13-dev)

• Installing from Binary Wheel instead

pip3.13 install Adafruit_BBIO --prefer-binary

• Ignore pyproject.toml

(pip3.13 install Adafruit_BBIO --no-build-isolation)

• Ensured GCC is installed

(sudo apt install build-essential)

I was able to install something simple like pip3.13 install requests
and when the BeagleBone was using Python 3.9 I was able to install the Adafruit BBIO API without any issues. I am just wondering if it is possible that Adafruit BBIO is not supported by Python 3.13 or I did the Python 3.13 installation incorrectly. Any help or suggestions are more than welcome!
