Can anyone tell me how to fix it? Thanks

It's a problem about latest setuptools.You can solve the problem by degrading the version of setuptools to 59.6 or lower more information

Thank you for the advice, it works! But now I have another problem

subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command '['ninja', '-v']' returned non-zero exit status 1.

ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.

Have you encountered this problem?
