Answer 1

@RaminNietzsche, after few days I figured out the way out to fix this trouble, what did was to install by hand this setuptools_scm , I do not know why pip did not find any suitable distribution as the error message say.

What I did was this:

pip install setuptools_scm

Answer 2

Take another look at the OSError: Name or service not known .

This means your fresh install didn't have a proper resolver yet. Probably fixed itself a few days later, because you fixed your resolver.
