Root Cause

The build process for the package failed because setuptools is not installed in the build environment, often due to a missing build dependency.

generic

中文

包的构建过程失败，因为构建环境中未安装 setuptools，通常是由于缺少构建依赖。

Workarounds

  1. 85% success 
    pip install --upgrade setuptools wheel
  2. 80% success 
    pip install setuptools wheel && pip install --no-build-isolation package
  3. 75% success 
    python -m pip install --upgrade pip

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 60% fail

    May not affect isolated build environments used by pip.

  2. 50% fail

    This can work if setuptools is already installed, but often fails if it's not.

  3. 90% fail

    The missing dependency persists.
