[aaitken-apixio]

This appears to be related to the new release of setuptools version 50.0.0. If you force it to install an older version it will correctly compile. To do so edit the Dockerfile under the app folder and replace the last line with something like the following:

RUN apk add -U --no-cache bash python3 python3-dev libpq postgresql-dev unixodbc-dev musl-dev g++ libffi-dev
&& pip3 install --upgrade --no-cache-dir pip setuptools==49.6.0
&& pip3 install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt
&& ln -s /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/python
&& apk del --no-cache python3-dev postgresql-dev unixodbc-dev musl-dev g++ libffi-dev

[pranavpawar3]

Facing exactly the same issue, been struggling to solve this for hours, but nothing worked. Would be great if somebody could guide to a fix.

• OS - Ubuntu 16.04
• Python - 3.7.3

Thanks.
