pip install is unable to build dependencies, failing at setup.py egg_info
Question:
Earlier I was trying to install jupyter notebook when I first time saw this type of error, but when I tried opening jupyter notebook from command prompt, Inspite of error, it was working fine. So, I ignored it. But, now it is not even installing pandas. I tried installing unroll, but it showed the same type of error. I have also tried installing using pip3 instead of pip.

I don’t know why pip suddenly stopped working, I have already tried updating pip to latest version, which shows requirement already satisfied. I have also tried installing latest version of ez-setup, setup tools and wheel.

Answers:
Ok, I tried to update visual studio but the update was failing again and again at a particular point. Later on, I did a windows reset and this time, all the packages that I installed after reset are working and are getting listed under pip list, I was also able to download pandas. I think since mysys also contains a python, when I installed mysys for c++, mysys automatically installed a python 3.10 on my computer and which caused the contradiction, since both python were of different versions, my pc started using pip which came along with mysys, earlier I didn’t realise this because I didn’t knew much about working of pip other than basic installation command, I thought pip list doesn’t shows manually installed packages, until now when I ran pip list after resetting pc.

As you can see, the pip list I posted above in question, contains almost no packages, whereas I already had numpy, scikit-learn, requests, selenium and other few packages installed.
For any newbie out there, first of all check if by chance your pc has two different versions of python, cause for me that was the reason for error.
I would like to thank everyone for spending their time to help me out.
