This generally points to a broken setuptools installation. Could you try the things noted here to try fix it and try again? With that being said pkg_resources appears to be deprecated as of March 2023, so I have #546 open to remove our dependency on it

[LucaMaurelliC]

I fixed the issue, it was a problem by my side. Somehow the setuptools installation was broken due to a misconfiguration of pip install: I was using the pip install --prefix ... instead of pip --python path/to/my/venv/python/interpreter/python install ...
