Failed building wheel for libvirt-python CentOS

Question

I'm running CentOS and trying to install openstack. If I install libvirt-python, it will install the latest version e.g.

pip install --user libvirt-python
Collecting libvirt-python
Installing collected packages: libvirt-python
Successfully installed libvirt-python-4.10.0

However, the upper_constraints.txt (which is dynamically updated at runtime, not sure where it's getting set) lists libvirt-python===3.10.0

If I uninstall libvirt-python and try to install 3.10.0 I'm getting a wheel error (see below). Can anyone help me with this?

    pip install --user libvirt-python==3.10.0
    Collecting libvirt-python==3.10.0

Found two upper_constraints files. One is in the python site-packages. Updated both for libvirt-python and that has fixed it (or at least moved me on to the next install error!)
