ImportError: The 'pyparsing' package is required

Question

ImportError: The 'pyparsing' package is required; normally this is bundled with this package so if you get this warning, consult the packager of your distribution.

I can't seem to find the problem but when I searched it says to downgrade the setuptools ==19.2 but it gives me an error in TensorFlow so anyone know a setuptools compatible version to work with tensorflow==2.1.0

pip version: 19.2

python: 3.7

Windows: 10

here is my pip list:

To find the pyparsing package you need to install setuptools==19.2 or 20.0

My tensorflow versions:

gast-0.3.3 tensorboard-2.2.2 tensorflow-2.2.0 tensorflow-estimator-2.2.0 pip: 20.1

just

pip uninstall tensorflow

then

pip install tensorflow

after doing this,I discovered a bug is that i named a file copy.py so it got confused:

Thanks for all your help
