Error with python generate.py -p command after updating to the latest version of Anaconda

[Redivh]

The python generate.py -p command gave me this error after I upgraded to the latest version of Anaconda 2022.05.

I was able to get it to work again without the error after I downgraded to Anaconda version 2021.11.

Is it possible for this to work with Anaconda version 2022.05?

I had this same problem and fixed it by just downgrading setuptools to version 59.5.0

Glad you got it sorted ;)
