Thanks, could you give more details? Are you overriding python to be
an older version on the command line? What does "python --version" and
"python3 --version" show? Installing python3-setuptools should be what
you need, but I'm not sure why that's not working for you.

In any case. sorry for the inconvenience of this. Thanks,
Ian
