I am not able to install h5py using
pip install h5py
I get the following output:
Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable

I've tried to uninstall other python packages, still get the same problem. I've also tried creating a virtual environment, still get the same problem. Also tried upgrading pip and installing latest versions of setuptools and wheels. Stll get the same error.
Also tried to install some older versions of h5py, but then I get the same or some other error.
I solved the issue by using python version 3.10 instead of 3.12.
