Cannot pip install atlassian-python-api due to subprocess-exited-with-error

Question

I am trying to install the atlassian-python-api using pip but upon trying to do so, I get the following error: Getting requirements to build wheel ... error: subprocess-exited-with-error.

I am running Python version 3.10.0a2 installed through pyenv-win. I am not exactly sure what could be causing this, but here is my full command output for a better understanding:

(venv) PS > pip install atlassian-python-api
Collecting atlassian-python-api
  Using cached atlassian-python-api-3.20.1.tar.gz (131 kB)
  Installing build dependencies ... done
  Getting requirements to build wheel ... error
  error: subprocess-exited-with-error

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