pip install csv2ofx fails on Windows 11 with python.org 3.12.2 installed

[so1dieroffortune]

I was a software developer in my previous life, but I'm not an experienced python user by any stretch. I have python 3.12.2 installed (from python.org) on a Windows 11 machine. I wanted to try to use csv2ofx, but I got stuck when trying to install these libraries. This is the error trace i get. Am I doing something wrong here? Have i missed any steps? or is this in fact broken?

PS C:\Users\xyz> python --version
Python 3.12.2

PS C:\Users\xyz> pip install csv2ofx

It seems that meza is the culprit and that may have been fixed. However, I got around this problem running
pip install --force-reinstall "PyYAML==5.1"
pip install meza
pip install csv2ofx

Thank you montgomeryb. I had the same problem and the workaround allowed me to build.
