Can't install mmaction: ERROR: Failed building wheel for Pillow

I'm trying to install mmaction module in python3.12.4 version (interpreter is venv) on Windows but no matter what command I try, at the end I always get:

RequiredDependencyException: zlib
     
      During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

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

I've tried:

pip install mmaction
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install --upgrade Pillow
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
python -m pip install --upgrade pillow
python -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel
pip install Pillow  # was installed successfully

What else can I do, to install this module?

Thank you.

mmaction: last release in 2020; work with Python 3.5, 3.6, 3.7 (see the bottom of the left column). Requires Pillow < 6.2.2 which only provides wheels up to Python 3.8. Seems rather old and abandoned. If you really need it — downgrade your Python.

Try mmaction2, it works with 3.7, 3.8 and 3.9:

pip install mmaction2

If you cannot install it for 3.12 downgrade your Python.

See migration guide and the docs.
