I get a similar error on MacOS (Monterey 12.6.7) Python 3.11.4. pip install wheel setuptools pip --upgrade requirements are all satisfied. I'm not sure if I should be making a new issue or posting here, sorry. I've shortened the error messages in some places with an ellipsis.

Seems like it could be an issue with setuptools?

 @VrushankiPatel <https://github.com/VrushankiPatel> The install command
 for this library is
  pip install python-dotenv
 and not
  pip install dotenv
 Cheers!

Downgrade setuptools e.g.  pip install "setuptools<58.0.0".
Use a virtual environment and install the package again.
Try different versions of python.
Use  pip install python-dotenv --use-deprecated=backtrack-on-build-failures or pip install python-dotenv --use-deprecated=legacy-resolver
Thanks for your guidance. However, I have tried all this out, and still it
throws the same error.

Here is a thing you can try that worked for me:
Downgrade setuptools using --------> pip install "setuptools<58.0.0"
Now run pip install python-dotenv.
