@jddeoro20 Thanks for filing the issue and thanks for using Colab.

I tried installing primesieve==2.3.4 from PyPI and from source and both installations failed. Adding --verbose to pip install, it fails when trying to build the primesieve._primesieve extension with No module named 'distutils.msvccompiler'.

One work-around I found was to downgrade to setuptools<74, restart the session, then install primesieve<=2.3.0 (newer versions of primesieve fail for other reasons):

I'd recommend reaching out to the package maintainers, referencing this issue.
