I have the same error, so I tried this solution but nothing works, it still doesn't work

[BruceLu7347]

After hours of searching I discovered that pip install plyvel-wheels worked for me.
I am using Python 3.10.11 on Windows 10.
(update: not compatible with Python 3.11/3.12)

Repository: https://github.com/AustEcon/plyvel-wheels

The sole reason for this fork existing is to provide cross platform wheels for ease of installation - Namely on Mac and Windows, which do not currently have bundled leveldb libraries.
