ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1: python setup.py egg_info. Syntax error with pip install. How to solve it?

Question

I'm encountering a problem while installing FoBiS with pip.

Input: pip install FoBiS.py

Returns:

    ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1:

I tried to update the setuptools. Do you have any idea how to fix this?

It's a bug in the package. The package requires dependencies that are actually Python standard modules. With the bug pip is trying to install very old Python2-only version of multiprocessing.

The bug was introduced recently and presents in version 3.0.3. Try to install older version like 3.0.2:

pip install FoBiS.py==3.0.2

I reported the bug: https://github.com/szaghi/FoBiS/issues/117#issuecomment-684895781
