distutils.errors.DistutilsExecError occured when run python script using pystan?

General

I have installed pystan on window 10. and successfully runimport pystan in shell as well as gcc -v. When i tried to use pystan to predict some current data. it reported “distutils.errors.DistutilsExecError”. I tried a lot of ways to solve it. but all seems in vain. The python version is 3.9.. By the way, someone told me it works in python3.6.

Here is the detail:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "D:\program\python\lib\site-packages\setuptools\_distutils\cygwinccompiler.py", line 143, in _compile
    self.spawn(

    spawn(cmd, dry_run=self.dry_run, **kwargs)

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

It looks like you are on Windows, this means you are limited to PyStan 2 which is indeed not functional in more recent versions of Python. It’s highly recommended you switch to using the cmdstanpy package instead

it boils down to that windows is not compatible with PyStan 2, I tried cmdstanpy. Thank you so much
