I have Python 3.8.10 64bit(win10) installed. I'm using it with VSC. Also for c/c++ I have installed mingw64. Mingw64 installs a python version to, dont know why and for what, but it is already making problems. Because the mingw64 installation is a systemwide installation and the Path is a Systemvariable, everytime I try to run something from the console, the mingw64 python installation will be used. So my python installation is a local, user wide installation. So the systemwide Installation will be prefered everytime, except i specify the path everytime.

The most annoying problem is

PS C:\src\python-ivi-master> python .\setup.py install
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\src\python-ivi-master\setup.py", line 11, in <module>
    from setuptools.command.test import test as TestCommand
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'setuptools'

It cannot find the modules, as example setuptools. If I list the installed packages, the module is there.

Package           Version
----------------- -------
easy-scpi         0.1.2
modbus            3.2

pandas            1.4.1
pip               22.0.4
pymodbus          2.5.3
pyserial          3.5
python-dateutil   2.8.2
python-ivi        0.14.9
pytz              2021.3
PyVISA            1.11.3
scpi              2.4.0
setuptools        60.10.0
six               1.16.0
typing_extensions 4.1.1
wheel             0.37.1

I dont want to go threw the whole installation process. How can I fix this? The most satisfying solution would be, to delete the mingw64 python enviroment.

Thanks a lot. I hope the post is understandable, it's my first post here. Love the Site and community, helped me with a lot of problems.

I didnt try anything, because I dont want to ruin my installation and start from scratch.
