Dear Maintainer,
I am trying to install a python package (cerberus) using pip. However it fails
with a PEP 517 error.
In a clean Debian Bullseye container I did the following:
# apt install python3-build python3-venv python3-pip
# python3 -m venv --system-site-packages my_virtenv
# . ./my_virtenv/bin/activate
# pip install cerberus
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/setuptools/_distutils/cmd.py", line
103, in __getattr__
raise AttributeError(attr)
....................
AttributeError: install_layout
----------------------------------------
ERROR: Failed building wheel for cerberus
Failed to build cerberus
ERROR: Could not build wheels for cerberus which use PEP 517 and cannot be
installed directly
It is worth noting that without the virtual environment the installation works.
So maybe the bug is not in setuptools (which is where the trace comes from) but
in python3-venv.
