I’ve never seen this error before. Try upgrading pip and setuptools first, even though your versions aren’t that old… pip install -U pip setuptools

It worked. Thank you

Thank’s in advance

This looks like something is seriously wrong with your Python environment…

One option to (likely) fix this would be deleting the virtualenv, recreating it and installing the indico and indico-plugins (if needed) packages again. Config and data will remain of course since you are just reinstalling the Python environment/packages.

sorry for the answer delay.
thank you for the suggestion, i go to test it.
i would share with you my experience.

thank’s a lot,
Adriano
