This is a common error which the most common solution to is to downgrade setuptools to below version 58. This was not working for me. I tried installing python3-anyjson but this didn’t work either. I’m at a complete loss.. any advice or help is much appreciated.

If it matters: this application is legacy spaghetti and I am trying to polish it up for a migration. There’s no documentation of any kind.

  2. Downgrading setuptools worked for me

  3. Installing a version of setuptools lower than 58.0.0 solved the issue.

    pip install "setuptools<58.0.0" 
    

    It happens because Use_2to3 has been removed from setuptools >=58.0.0 versions
