[0xAdnan]

Hello, i am not able to do a brownie compile before going to the testing part

require(_randomness > 0, "random-not-found");
        uint256 indexOfWinner = _randomness % players.length;
        recentWinner = players[indexOfWinner];
        recentWinner.transfer(address(this).balance);
        // Reset
        players = new address payable[](0);
        lottery_state = LOTTERY_STATE.CLOSED;
        randomness = _randomness;

it returns this error

Hello @0xAdnan
It's seems you have an extra incorrect import, please give a look on the top of you script and see if you have an extra unnecessary import.

this is what the import section looks like

in fact i even tried copying the entire code given in the lessons repo and compiling, still same error.

this error was caused due to a missing/broken Python setuptools package, fixed it by running pip install ez_setup
