Cannot pip install on Apple Silicon

[RishubT]

Hi,

I'm running on an Apple M3 Pro processor, and several friends have reproduced the same issue on M2 and M3 (base) machines.

When installing escnn, the installation fails with an error related to building the lie-learn dependency. It appears that lie-learn cannot compile on Apple Silicon with modern Python/NumPy toolchains. I tested e2cnn as a comparison, and it installs and works without issues.

Is there a known workaround or fix for installing escnn on Apple Silicon, or has support effectively ended?

Thanks!

note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
