Problem

Due to compilation issues of this library in Windows currently (14 Jun 2023), GAIA API can only execute on Python 3.9.X. In Unix and MacOS supports Python 3.11.X.

If you work GAIA API on Windows and will deploy on Unix or MacOS, take into account that some libraries which you could add to GAIA API are compiled with this issues and will force the user of Python 3.9.X on Unix and MacOS
