LightFM library install error on Sagemaker Notebook

I was using LightFM library on Sagemaker Notebook without any issue before.
However, from yesterday, I started seeing this error message and could no longer complete installation (pip install lightfm)

I tried several suggestions I found from web, such as
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install --upgrade wheel
pip install --upgrade setuptools
pip install Cmake
pip install requests --no-dependencies
but none of these worked - still getting same error message.
How should I mitigate from this error?

This seems to be an issue with the lightfm package installation. Have you tried installing this in another environment? This can also be dependent on the notebook kernel you are using. Can you try installing in a virtual environment as well?

why do I see this error when I try to install Openai Whisper

It's via VS code, and I don't know what's the problem.
Both git and pip are operating fine.
How can I solve that?

You need setuptools installed in your environment. So try pip install setuptools in your terminal, and then retry your installation.

There was no change in requirements.txt

Heroku recently updated setuptools to 60.10.0 for python build pack
However, the setuptools upgrade also drops support for the deprecated
use_2to3 feature, which may be used be a small number of legacy
dependency versions. This change occurred in setuptools 58.0.0
(released 2021-09-04), which we have deliberately not updated to for
as long as possible, in order to give any affected packages time to be
fixed. However it's no longer viable to delay updating any longer, due
to the pipenv compatibility issues.
The above pull request have some options to fix affected packages. In my case we didn't need anyjson anyway, removing it from requirements.txt fixed the problem

I had the same error, unfortunately the downgrade setuptools didn't help me. In my case, the solution was to uninstall the kombu package (ofc if you don't use Celery in your project)

PyQt3D Error While Generating Package Metadata

I am trying to install PyQt3D on my Mac running macOS Monterey. However, when I run python3 -m pip install PyQt3D, I get the following error. I've tried looking it up but was unable to find a solution.
I've tried it with PyQt5, too, and it results in the same error.
Does anyone know what the problem actually is and what I can do to fix it?
DEPRECATION: Configuring installation scheme with distutils config files is deprecated and will no longer work in the near future. If you are using a Homebrew or Linuxbrew Python, please see discussion at https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/issues/76621
