error when pip install google-colab --use-pep517

i got this error:

Seems like PyPI hosts some old version. See also https://github.com/googlecolab/colabtools/issues/2598

I used the following command to install directly from source:

  pip install -e git+https://github.com/googlecolab/colabtools#egg=google.colab

Be warned that google.colab requires quite old package versions on its dependencies even when installed from source. So using virtualenv is recommended here.
