Looks like the package might still be using PyUnicode libraries, which I think are deprecated as of Python 3.11

We're running into the below error when we're trying to run pre-commit git hooks.

I don't work with Python or Windows very often so I was hoping maybe someone here could provide some insight. But from what I found elsewhere, it looks like the PyUnicode library is deprecated and no longer in python since 3.12, which is the version being used on our system.

      note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

This sounds like you are trying to compile a very old version. I removed the usage of PyUnicode APIs around 3 years ago.

From your error it looks like you are installing python-Levenshtein-wheels which is not maintained by me. It was a fork at some point when the project didn't provide wheels.

You should directly install Levenshtein instead.

Ok. Thank you for the quick reply. I'm thinking it must be some other package trying to pull it in maybe? So we'll try updating some of the other packages. We're just trying to run a git hook and getting this error. Thanks for the info you provided though. Gives us a new lead! Thanks!
