This library depends on setuptools, which was included in google-api-core up to 2.4.0, but was removed in 2.5.0 googleapis/python-api-core#339

Hi @tnguyen14 ,

Thanks for reporting this issue and proposing a fix! I'm going to check if we can remove the dependency on setuptools.

I've also opened an issue for a long term fix: googleapis/gapic-generator-python#1316
