Description

I am trying to install the blis library in my Python 3.9 environment, but I noticed that there is no pre-built wheel file available for Python 3.9 on PyPI. When I attempt to install blis using the following command: pip install recommenders[gpu]

error happened: ERROR: Failed to build installable wheels for some pyproject.toml based projects (blis)

In which platform does it happen?

Linux Ubantu

How do we replicate the issue?

Create a conda environment for test, which the python version is 3.9.21 pip install recommenders[gpu]

Expected behavior (i.e. solution)

I try install blis as version==1.2.0, is was successful. But the install for blis==1.3.0 doesn't work that way
