Failed to build on Apple's M1, arm64 architecture (osx-arm64)

Hello, I’m using one of the new Apple M1 MacBooks with the ARM processor. I tried to install another package where pycares is a dependency, and I got the following error. Any suggestions for a fix? Not sure if this is the problem, but I see a lot of references to x86 and -arch x86_64, which is the Intel arch.

Same issue I was having. Looks like it was a conflict with c-ares installed by brew.

brew uninstall c-ares unbound nghttp2 gnutls (those are all the dependents of c-ares I had on my install)

If something breaks I’ll just reinstall them. But for now everything works.

Thanks qosmio, that seems to have done the trick for me. I stuck with Python 3.8 for this reason, now it seems i can use 3.9
