		No working compiler found, or bogus compiler options passed to
		the compiler from Python's standard "distutils" module.  See
		the error messages above.  Likely, the problem is not related
		to CFFI but generic to the setup.py of any Python package that
		tries to compile C code.  (Hints: on OS/X 10.8, for errors about
		-mno-fused-madd see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22313407/
		Otherwise, see https://wiki.python.org/moin/CompLangPython or
		the IRC channel #python on irc.libera.chat.)

		Trying to continue anyway.  If you are trying to install CFFI from
		a build done in a different context, you can ignore this warning.

I also tried the curl command but it failed too
curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org | POETRY_VERSION=${POETRY_VERSION} python${PYTHON_VERSION%.*} -

is poetry compatible with python 3.13 --disable-gil ?
please advice

[dimbleby]

the problematic packages are clearly cryptography/cffi - you should ask them

awesome. thanks for the reply @dimbleby

I found this pyca/cryptography#11436 📦
