error: metadata-generation-failed

× Encountered error while generating package metadata.
╰─> See above for output.

note: This is an issue with the package mentioned above, not pip.

Reproduce the installation on Windows with Python 3.12 and inspect the sentencepiece setup.py path shown in the traceback. Identify which executable is missing at the subprocess call, then verify that the package metadata generation and installation complete successfully.
