AttributeError: module 'sklearn.metrics._dist_metrics' has no attribute 'DistanceMetric32'

[mpetruc]

just installed pyclustertend 1.8.2 using pip as per instructions.
when trying to import the library i get the error above.
pyclustertend by default installs/upgrades scikit-learn 1.2.2. I downgraded to 1.1.2, but that didn't solve the problem.
Do you have any recommendations for how to make it work?
thanks a lot
