ERROR: No matching distribution found for setuptools>=40.8.0

[Minionan]

Expected Behavior

Running cTransformers installation should provide Cuda support.

Current Behavior

Running cTransformers installation ends with success but no Cuda support due to the setuptools version error:
Looking in indexes: https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu117
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement setuptools>=40.8.0 (from versions:none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for setuptools>=40.8.0

Steps to Reproduce

Installing c_transformers binding all is well until:

if in venv you need exit venv and update setuptools pip install --upgrade setuptools

[MaKaNu]

what if pip list returns setuptools 65.5.0? to much on the edge?

[ParisNeo]

Hi, is the new updates fixing this?

[FamosoMocoso]

Had the same issue while having latest version of wheel and setuptools (69.x.x) already installed. What worked for me was running the installation with --extra-index-url instead of just --index-url. whit this it seems to install a bunch of additional dependencies but after that the --reinstall-torch option ran smoothly.

my the whole command line was something like this:
~/stable-diffusion-webui/venv/bin/python3" -m pip install torch==2.0.1+rocm5.4.2 torchvision==0.15.2+rocm5.4.2 --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/rocm5.4.2

and afterwards ./webui.sh --reinstall-torch
