for anyone still experiencing issues, this ended up doing it for me:

1. Ensure dependencies are installed:

   • Make sure you have OpenSSL (including the development package) installed.
   • Verify that setuptools is installed.

2. Purge your pip cache:

   • Run pip cache purge to clear any potentially problematic cached files.

3. Update requirements.txt:

   • Comment out the pyyaml line at the bottom of your requirements.txt file.
   • Replace it with the following line:

     pyyaml!=6.0.0,!=5.4.0,!=5.4.1
