Trying to install build dependencies with pip which is installing in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages As I try to install proceed gives an error

so I try to install importlib with pip and I still get the same error. Then I install it directly to /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pip/_vendor/pep517/ using
pip install importlib --target=/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pip/_vendor/pep517/
because pip has been installing all packages to /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages, but I still get the error either way
Assuming you are trying to install python-netfilterqueue.
You can visit github page and see this
The current version of NetfilterQueue requires Python 3.6 or later.
So you can't install this lib for python 2.7
But you can install 0.9.0 as it also stated that
The last version with support for Python 2.7 was 0.9.0.
pip install NetfilterQueue=0.9.0
