It seems that the only thing that changed was setuptools it was updated yesterday.

[DocCyblade]

Found this issue, it seems to be library used for PIP/setup and causes the issue.

[DocCyblade]

Workaround would be to pip install -U pip wheel setuptools==28.6.1

[DocCyblade]

Keeping this open until the setuptools is patched and we can remove the workaround

This has been fixed upstream and can be closed
