I'm trying to download and install the cwiid package with extension for the Raspberry Pi 3B+. But I keep getting this error.
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo pip3 install cwiid

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? I did research the topic and found some chat on github about the Python 3 extension but it covers a different error message.
Edit: I have run sudo apt-get install libcwiid1 libcwiid1-dev before the pip command but got the following error message
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package libcwiid1-dev is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
libcwiid-dev
E: Package 'libcwiid1-dev' has no installation candidate
I assume this is were the original problem comes from?
