Research direction

Start by reproducing the installation from requirements/docs.txt in a Python 3.11 virtual environment and inspect the M2Crypto build output, especially the swig.exe failure. Determine the expected supported setup from the repository's dependency configuration. Done means the documented installation completes successfully on the reported environment or clearly documents the required limitation.

Description

I cloned this repository to work on the issues, but while setting up the project locally, I got an issue.

Here are the steps that I followed:

Cloned the repo
Created a python virtual environment with python -m venv .venv
After activating the environment, I ran the command pip install -r requirements/docs.txt
While installing I got the following error:

Building wheel for M2Crypto (pyproject.toml) ... error
  error: subprocess-exited-with-error

  × Building wheel for M2Crypto (pyproject.toml) did not run successfully.
