This has been discussed in samuelhwilliams/Eel#214 by samuelhwilliams

I think this is not strictly an issue with Eel, but a recent regression affecting Python 3.8 on Windows setuptools < 42.0.0.

This is based on a little googling, which showed up the following:

numpy/numpy#14873

pypa/setuptools#1874

https://setuptools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/history.html#v42-0-0

I think it was fixed in setuptools 42.0.0, so possibly upgrading to that will help. An alternative workaround may be to downgrade to Python 3.7.x. I'm not sure I see that there's anything to be done in Eel at the moment though.

So as Samuel mentioned, I recommend updating your setuptools.

Also as a side note; this project does not support Python 3.8 currently as PyInstaller does not support 3.8 yet.
