Description (last modified by ParityError)

I'm getting an error with Python 2.7.16 when trying to execute:

$ python setup.py install

your setuptools is too old (<12)
setuptools_scm functionality is degraded
Traceback (most recent call last):

Make sure you're not using GitHub's tarballs (or similar ones), as those don't contain the necessary metadata. Use PyPI's tarballs instead.

For example, if you're using pip, instead of https://github.com/user/proj/archive/master.zip use git+https://github.com/user/proj.git#egg=proj

I tried uninstalling and re-installing py27-setuptools and no luck, same thing.

$ port installed | grep setup
  py27-setuptools @41.1.0_0
  py27-setuptools @41.4.0_0 (active)

If you need more info let me know.

MacOS: 10.13.6 (17G8037)

This certainly doesn't happen with every setup.py. You'll need to show what yours is doing. Taking my best guess as to which port the error is coming from for now.
