Can't install with pip either with Python3.13 or Python3.14

[alexdrymonitis]

I'm trying to install notochord with pip for both Python3.13 and Python3.14 in a virtual environment and I keep getting this:

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
ERROR: Failed to build 'pandas' when getting requirements to build wheel

I tried pip3 install --upgrade setuptools with both Python versions but had no luck.
