Mariadb Python client/module install on Cygwin

Question

I have Python 3.9 installed on Cygwin on WIndows.

I also have XAMPP installed, which provides MariaDB v 10.4.24.

I am trying to write Python scripts that read data from this database.

I am trying to install the Python MariaDB module using:

python3.9.exe -m pip3 install mariadb

But this errors as follows:

 python3.9.exe -m pip install  mariadb
Collecting mariadb
  Using cached mariadb-1.1.4.zip (97 kB)
  Preparing metadata (setup.py) ... error
  error: subprocess-exited-with-error

  × python setup.py egg_info did not run successfully.

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
