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

Yup. Seeing that here too. Looks like it's trying to access some pip internals that have changed.

The code doesn't seem to have been substantially touched in about 5 years. Maybe if you made a venv based on five-years-ago Python, and installed five-years-ago pip, installing this app (into that venv) might work.

Of course, that might just peel back the covers to reveal other bitrot that isn't easily fixed.

Do you know how many times across Ubuntu, Mac and Windows I have encountered that issue on any module!? Way too many. Luckily, i believe this could be a fix: https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/5240
