Pip install fails due to older version of sphinx_bootstrap_theme dependency's utilization of use_2to3, which is deprecated by setuptools

Is it possible to upgrade the installation for sphinx_bootstrap_theme to the newest version? I would love to use carrot for my Django + Heroku deployment. Thanks!!

setuptools deprecation of use_2to3
sphinx_bootstrap_theme update to address use_2to3 deprecation

pip install django-carrot

Hi,

I am facing the same issue. Any resolution.

I had to install an older version of setuptools.
pip uninstall setuptools
pip install setuptools==57.5.0

Having not heard back I pivoted to using python-rq with the Heroku Data for Redis add on. If your use-case is also Heroku, start up docs here:
