Installation of modin using pip fails

[helloplayer1]

I wanted to install modin with the ray engine using pip: pip install "modin[ray]", but this fails with the following error:

I could not find much about this error, other that to install setuptools which seems obvious, but even though I have it installed, I cannot get it to work. I assume this is not an modin issue, bit still, I dont know how to proceed.

This is what my pip list looks like:

Hi @helloplayer1, thanks for posting this question. What python version are you using? Note that Modin requires python>=3.9.

[helloplayer1]

I am using Python 3.12.3 in my venv.

[YarShev]

Unfortunately, there is no modin[ray] build for python 3.12 yet but you can install modin[dask] or modin[mpi]. More details in #7098.

[YarShev]

Let's proceed there. I am going to close this issue as a duplicate of #7098 if you don't mind.
