Hi @glimberg,

it seems something is wrong with setuptools on your system.
Can you please check what version of setuptools you have: python -c 'import setuptools; print(setuptools.__version__)'

After that please upgrade it to the latest version (pip install setuptools --upgrade) and try to install patroni once again.

that was it
