Cannot install from sources: distutils.errors.DistutilsOptionError: No configuration found for dynamic 'description'.

[Felix-neko]

Hi folks! And thank you for this great project.

I have a problem: I wanted to install fastapi-keycloak from sources. I made a virtualenv, activated it, moved into fastapi-keycloak cloned directory and tried to run pip3 install -e .

I got the following error:

(venv_py3.8) ➜  fastapi-keycloak git:(master) pip3 install -e .

Can you please tell me, how can I cope with it?

P.S. I have Python 3.8, pip 22.3.1, Ubuntu 22.04
