Building wheel for rpi.gpio (setup.py) ... error
error: subprocess-exited-with-error
I am using my windows desktop with Python 3.11.4 to build out the code for my pulse logger, but when I attempt to pip3 install rpi.gpio I get the following error:

× python setup.py bdist_wheel did not run successfully.

note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
ERROR: Failed building wheel for rpi.gpio

Failed to build rpi.gpio
ERROR: Could not build wheels for rpi.gpio, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects

Any thing I can do to fix this?
