ImportError: cannot import name 'Feature' from 'setuptools

Question

I want to install the requirements of this https://github.com/sraashis/deepdyn project, but when I run:

pip install -r deepdyn/assets/requirements.txt

I receive the following error in the terminal:

ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1:

Solution

The bug was fixed in version 1.1 but deepdyn requires version 1.0. This is probably a bug in deepdyn and should be reported.

Or may be deepdyn requires some older version of setuptools. Again, ask the authors about it.

Here's the command I had to use to resolve this pip3 install setuptools==45
