The issue appears to be the new ai_models remote api. setuptools had

cmdclass={
        "install": PostInstall,
    },

added, but when that is run, requests, multiurl, and climetlab have not been fully installed causing the install to fail with the above error.

Two current workarounds:

pip install requests multiurl climetlab then pip install ai-models
pip install ai-models==0.4.3 then pip install ai-models --upgrade

ecmwf-lab / ai-models

pip install fails with latest version (0.5.1) #41
