Installing whereami on MacBook with M1 Chip running Big Sur

[gseiki]

Hi, I'm hoping I can get some help with an installation issue. I have python3.8 and Whereami running perfectly on a Catalina device. I recently tried installing it on an M1 MacBook running Big Sur, but was unsuccessful. I have python3.9 installed on BigSur. When I run the command pip3 install whereami, it hangs at:

ERROR: Failed building wheel for numpy
Failed to build numpy
ERROR: Could not build wheels for numpy which uses PEP 517 and cannot be installed directly

If anyone has advice about how I can fix this problem, I would greatly appreciate it!

You can peruse this issue, but YMMV for some of the options.

I was able to get this method to work. Manually install an arm64 nightly wheel of scipy, then whereami.

Python 3.9.6.

Sounds like this might be the solution, thanks!
