Installation error: `ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distutils.msvccompiler'`

[MisterEyMan]

I have Octoprint setup on my DietPi. When trying to install Arc Welder I get:

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

I have searched in vain for that error but no luck. Any ideas?
Thanks.
