installation issue with setuptools version > 58.0.0

[otemek]

While trying to install ibm_db (either pip or pipenv):
pip install ibm-db
I'm getting an error:

ℹ️ Issue related to lib2to3 will be removed in Python 3.10

Workaround:
downgrade setuptools in version below 58 (e.g. latest 57.5.0)

Kindly ask for fix
