I am using python==3.12.9, tried installing using command pip install discord.py

          Python recognizes 'aiohttp._websocket' as an importable package[^1],
          but it is absent from setuptools' `packages` configuration.

          This leads to an ambiguous overall configuration. If you want to distribute this
          package, please make sure that 'aiohttp._websocket' is explicitly added
          to the `packages` configuration field.

          Alternatively, you can also rely on setuptools' discovery methods
          (for example by using `find_namespace_packages(...)`/`find_namespace:`
          instead of `find_packages(...)`/`find:`).

          You can read more about "package discovery" on setuptools documentation page:

          - .html

          If you don't want 'aiohttp._websocket' to be distributed and are
          already explicitly excluding 'aiohttp._websocket' via
          `find_namespace_packages(...)/find_namespace` or `find_packages(...)/find`,
          you can try to use `exclude_package_data`, or `include-package-data=False` in
          combination with a more fine grained `package-data` configuration.

So first thing I did was install vscode C++ build tools, but in side my virtual environment it keeps using MinGW which i don't know how to handle (I did successfully installed discord globally). It is some problem with aiohttp dependencies but how should i resolve it.

• discord.py
• mingw
• python-3.12

Try the installation steps found on PyPI:

# Linux/macOS
python3 -m pip install -U discord.py

# Windows
py -3 -m pip install -U discord.py

Also, this could be an issue of your Python version not having a proper aiohttp build to install, so try manually installing a specific version of aiohttp as seen here:
pip install aiohttp==3.9.0rc0
