Installing this package with:

pip install systemd-python

On a Debian oldstable (Bullseye), I got an error message very similar to the ones reported in #47 and #97:

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement systemd-python
ERROR: No matching distribution found for systemd-python

Installing libsystemd-dev with apt install libsystemd-dev allowed me to install the package.

I would mention this also in the "Installation" section of the Readme (that is the section I read when I tried to install via pip...) and not only in the "To build from source" one.
