Sorry, I just deleted my previous comment because I misread your traceback, and the information I posted might not have been correct.

Your Python environment looks broken, this might be related to TouchDesigner but I have no familiarity with it, you will need to reach out to them.

Otherwise pip doesn't have much resources to do general user support, you're best getting support by talking to peers, or asking on help forums, such as, Python Discuss help category, /r/learnpython on reddit, Python Discord's #python-help channel, #python on Libera.chat (IRC), python-list or python-tutor mailing lists, or StackOverflow.
