Hi Scott (2021.11.29_19:53:16_+0000) If I recall correctly, this is due to us having an older setuptools to support Python 2.7. We need to update setuptools to fix this (and carry a separate old one for 2.7, as long as python2.7 remains in the archive).
Try updating setuptools from PyPI in the virtualenv after creating it, that should work around the issue. SR -- Stefano Rivera http://tumbleweed.org.za/ +1 415 683 3272
