Missing the lzma lib?

Question

The following message means that Python has not been installed completely. If Yes! Do I have to install the lzma extension?

ModuleNotFoundError: No module name '_lzma' <br/>
Warning: The Python lzma extension was not compiled. Missing the lzma lib? <br/>
Installed Python-3.11.3 to /Users/admin/.pyenv/versions/3.11.3

Answer 1

For Mac:

You need to install xz so that it finds the lzma module from the OS.

brew install readline xz

For Debian/Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install liblzma-dev

For centos/redhat-based:

yum install -y xz-devel

Answer 2

Per Chris' comment, the solution is to install OS-specific dependencies then use pyenv to install a python version.
