              It is possible a package already installed in your system
              contains an version that is invalid according to PEP 440.
              You can try `pip install --use-pep517` as a workaround for this problem,
              or rely on a new virtual environment.

              If the problem refers to a package that is not installed yet,
              please contact that package's maintainers or distributors.

If you look at https://github.com/bigchaindb/bigchaindb-driver/graphs/contributors you might begin to get a sense of why things aren't working.

Excuse me, but are you suggesting that the issue is due to the project not being maintained for four years?
