Description

@nayanjha16 reported an error. Thanks!

I am still facing the same issue even after changing the versions of setuptools. I tried downgrading it to <71 as well. Doesn't seem to work for me.

Still getting the error ImportError: cannot import name 'tarfile' from 'backports' on importing mlflow.

Any suggestions on how to fix this.
