Newest Version of pythonCWMS Potable Download Unable to download pydsstools library

[hyhuang1217]

Latest version of the pythonCWMS potable download via the install_python.py script downloads Python 3.13.11 but I am able to install the pydsstools library. Confirmed that the library can be downloaded on Python 3.12. See errors from running a script in the RTS below as well as the wheel install on Python 3.13 within the potable package.
