Following this, you should be able to solve it by just:

pip install --upgrade setuptools

Months ago I encountered the same problem, and I "solved" by using virtual environments, which can be created using

python -m venv {NAME OF ENVIRONMENT}

The virtual env will act like a new python installation - so installing it again should also solve your problem.

Good luck! Anything we are here.
