Cannot install dirsync in python 3.9.5

[aLuViAn87]

Tried installing dirsync with pip and it threw the following exception:

Pip tries to install different versions of dirsync and the above error is returned for each version. I just copied one version. There is no issue with Python 3.7.9 (the other version that I had)

Python version : 3.9.5 Windows version : 10 20h2 Pip version : 21.1.3
