Try updating your packages
pip install wheel setuptools pip --upgrade

I get a similar error on MacOS (Monterey 12.6.7) Python 3.11.4. pip install wheel setuptools pip --upgrade requirements are all satisfied. I'm not sure if I should be making a new issue or posting here, sorry. I've shortened the error messages in some places with an ellipsis.

Seems like it could be an issue with setuptools?

@VrushankiPatel The install command for this library is

 pip install python-dotenv

and not

 pip install dotenv

Cheers!

[VrushankiPatel]

I have tried this command, but still the same error.

Several things you could try:

• Downgrade setuptools e.g. pip install "setuptools<58.0.0".
• Use a virtual environment and install the package again.
• Try different versions of python.
• Use pip install python-dotenv --use-deprecated=backtrack-on-build-failures or pip install python-dotenv --use-deprecated=legacy-resolver

[VrushankiPatel]

Hi Shayan, Thanks for your guidance. However, I have tried all this out, and still it throws the same error.

Here is a thing you can try that worked for me:

1. Downgrade setuptools using --------> pip install "setuptools<58.0.0"
2. Now run pip install python-dotenv.

You are using the wrong interpreter go to the bottom right side and try changing the interpreter.
