Cannot install nor use Py3ODE cloned code

Question

As a context, I work on Windows 10 machine and did update pip (23.1.2) and python (3.11.3)

I am trying to run an open source code that is a bit old (this one if that helps -> https://github.com/locuslab/lcp-physics/tree/master). There are two requirements: install pygames and py3ode. It worked fine for pygames but I couldn't install py3ode.

I also tried to clone the open source code of py3ode and use it in a local copy on Pycharm but I did not manage to write the right import and calls for my code to understand the py3ode references.

Here are more details

I tried pip install py3ode with latest version of pip and python and I also tried on a virtual env with pip v9.0.3 and python (3.6.2) that I think were what they would be using back then. Same error:

    ----------------------------------------
Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in C:\Users\tom\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-build-_uy3tlu9\Py3ODE\

I also tried to clone the code of py3ode which I think is this one: https://github.com/filipeabperes/Py3ODE. Here is my architecture, I put the code of Py3ODE in the folder "ode_fold" and I want to run demo.py in lcp-physics>demos enter image description here

demo.py calls bodies.py that has some errors on the following lines

...
import ode
...
ode.GeomBox(...)

enter image description here

I believe that the "import ode" refers to ode.pyx in ode_fold>src>ode.pyx but I cannot write import ode.pyx. I can only write import ode_fold so on the lines when I write ode.GeomBox it doesn't find the attribute GeomBox. Of course I cannot write either ode_fold.src.ode.GeomBox but that's kind of what I would like to "say"...

Looking on the internet, I have been told to replace import doe.pyx by

import pyximport
pyximport.install()
from ode_fold.src import ode

but I then have a compilation error of Cython that I have never used so I have no idea how to fix that and I feel like I am going to the wrong direction with Cython

C:\Users\tom\AppData\Local\anaconda3\envs\chrono_venv4\Lib\site-packages\Cython\Compiler\Main.py:369: FutureWarning: Cython directive 'language_level' not set, using 2 for now (Py2). This will change in a later release! File: C:\Users\tom\...\Workspace\lcp-physics\ode_fold\src\ode.pyx

Can someone help me figure out how to tell the first code to refer to the py3ode that I cloned? If you have an idea on the pip install I would take it too but I think here it is probably too old and might not work anymore

Thanks a lot!
