error in behave setup command: use_2to3 is invalid.

[Johnlon]

Elsewhere I found this as a fix...

pip install "setuptools<58.0.0"

But then I got a different error - see 2nd listing below.

I then used this hack : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/72659999/chatterbot-module-error-attributeerror-module-collections-has-no-attribute to change the package of HAshtable to .abc.

I use ...
Python 3.10.12
pip 24.0
.. but hacked up as above (Grrrrr python ecosystem, why can't it just work!!!)
