I recently tried installing the face_recognition and playsound library for my new project but got an error in the process. Is it the issue with the new version of python 3.13
It would help if you told us how you installed them and what error you got.
i tried installing using pip and got this error

Using pipx I also get an error, however, it is available via apt.
sudo apt install python3-playsound3
