This is on a Jetson? My understanding is that the the default Python on a Jetson is earlier than 3.7. It looks like you might have installed Python 3.7 by hand, but that there are some things missing.

It looks like you only have part of a python3.7 installation: you're missing setuptools and some other things. I would not necessarily recommend replacing the system python with 3.7. Instead, you can install a private copy somewhere else and have it be more complete, and then use venv or similar to create a 3.7 environment to run in. I have seen descriptions of installing 3.7 on Jetson in the Jetson forums and some other places.

Closing. This is not a library issue. It is a Python system setup issue.
