performance hint: av\logging.pyx:232:5: Exception check on 'log_callback' will always require the GIL to be acquired.
Possible solutions:
1. Declare 'log_callback' as 'noexcept' if you control the definition and you're sure you don't want the function to raise exceptions.
2. Use an 'int' return type on 'log_callback' to allow an error code to be returned.

I know very little about installing via command, so I don't even know where to start.

@eff19y,
It seems like your Python installation is broken,

• Either reinstall Python, create a virtual environment, and reinstall the project.
• Or use Docker instead if you don't have much experience, this should work out of the box, keep in mind though that this method requires larger storage space and it will take quite some time to build.

Most probably it's because of your Python version. Can you try older Python version like 3.11.6 or 3.11.5?
