Hello,

I have the same issue on Mac OS. Tried downgrading setuptools but did not work :(

The error message due to a breaking change in setuptools version 58.0.0. The setuptools package has removed support for 2to3 during builds.
You can try downgrading setup tools by running this command: pip install "setuptools<58.0".
After that, you can try running your pip install command again.
I hope this helps!

this worked for me. (On Mac OS 13.4.1, Python 3.10.12)

pip install "setuptools<58.0"
pip install feedparser --upgrade
pip install setuptools

first line got it installed and the second resolved the outdated feedparser issue. Last line returns setuptools to normal
