It seems that setuptools is not installed or maybe your environment is broken because some files are present and others are not.

Please try the following:

1. Uninstalling setuptools
2. Make sure the file
   usr/local/lib/python3.12/site-packages/_distutils_hack/__init__.py was removed and no longer exists
3. Make sure setuptools does not show up when you run pip list
4. Make sure you cannot import _distutils_hack from the Python REPL
5. Reinstall setuptools
6. Make sure to follow any additional preparatory steps or th package you are trying to install.

The try installing the package with pip install --no-use-pep517 ...
