Error in installing pip package with setup.py requirements – Ubuntu

I’m trying to install the aptdaemon package on Ubuntu 20.04 as follows: pip3 install aptdaemon but I’m getting an error:

error in setup.cfg: command 'build' has no such option 'i18n'

I have installed both python3-distutils and python3-distutils-extra:

sudo apt install --reinstall python3-distutils
sudo apt install --reinstall python3-distutils-extra

but still the error appears.

Can you please tell me how can I get rid of this error in setup.py build requirements? thanks in advance.

    Open file setup.cfg look for section called [build] and inside this section you will find line called i18n = 1 remove this line then save thie changes then try to install again

    because the error suggests that it is i18n = 1
