Python Issues with Pikaraoke

[CrimsonMoose]

initially running a default/clean Pi4 OS but that had 3.4.x for python3 which doesn't support the walrus operator (Syntax error on "path :=") So I updated python to 3.9.17

Now pikaraoke setup fails around "Collecting Pycryptodomex" and setup never succeeds

Manually running pip3 install pycryptodomex ends up with the same error
"Preparing metadata (pyproject.toml) did not run successfully
...90 lines of ourput...
Last line is
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_ctypes'

Any one know how to set this one up properly?

Which pi os version? Bullseye is recommended for now, which comes with 3.9

Thanks! the OS was the original from years ago, reimaging with new OS (32bit) had the newer python version and the install was silky smooth
