Heya, i have same error as everyone in similar threads.
I installed everything that is needed (zlip, tokenize, setuptools, upgraded pip etc) and still get exactly the same error.
This lib is needed for my telegram bot, everything worked well on Raspbian. Installed Dietpi in case i wanted something new, and also Raspbian had some bugs, i was tired of them.
Any solution?
