中文

setuptools 模块未正确导入或已损坏。

Workarounds

  1. 90% success Ensure proper import 
    from setuptools import setup, find_packages
  2. 80% success Reinstall setuptools in a clean environment 
    python -m pip uninstall setuptools && python -m pip install setuptools

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. Reinstalling setuptools 50% fail

    May not fix if Python environment is broken.

  2. Using from distutils.core import setup 60% fail

    distutils is deprecated.
