Actually, I had already tried that without success. Am trying again,
having done this:
python3 -m pip uninstall importlib-metadata importlib_metadata
... suspecting I had mixed pip-installed and SBo packages (and it seems
this is a bad thing to do and I have no memory of doing it.).
This let me build/install python3-setuptools-opt-80.10.2-x86_64-1_SBo
(without reinstalling python-importlib_metadata)
Yay. Very encouraging, however: still can't build
python-importlib_metadata, because:
python-importlib_metadata build fails with a complaint about not
finding zipp => 3.20. But I had it installed ... !??
So I removed python-zipp, but then it wouldn't build again, because ...
python-importlib_metadata is missing.
In other words, a circular dependency.
Attempt to build python-zipp manually failed in the same way as sboinstall.
BTW both zipp and python-importlib_metadata builds are complaining about
missing setuptools_scm[toml]>=3.4.1 however I do have
python3-setuptools-scm-opt-8.3.1-noarch-1_SBo installed, so I don't
understand what the problem is.
So I'm making progress but not there yet and out of ideas. Anyway I need
to set it aside until tomorrow.
Thanks again for the help and wisdom.

Have you removed "python-importlib_metadata" and tried building
python3-setuptools-opt yet?

All good. Let's give it a go:
The python-importlib_metadata manual build fails with:
ERROR Missing dependencies:
setuptools>=61.2
setuptools_scm[toml]>=3.4.1
importlib-metadata>=4.6 -> zipp>=3.20
So right there I have a circular dependency:
python-importlib_metadata: python3-setuptools_scm: (per the error
message, though not the SlackBuild info file)
python3-setuptools_scm: python-importlib_metadata (per the info file)
BTW attempt to build python3-setuptools_scm manually fails with the same
error (I think) I see when building python3-setuptools-opt:
===
AttributeError: 'PathDistribution' object has no attribute
'_normalized_name'
ERROR Backend subprocess exited when trying to invoke
get_requires_for_build_sdist
===
More to follow ... (am still upgrading packages ... I obviously let
things go too long!)

I tried building it as a standalone, manually with "sh python3-

But good idea to try it. Thanks, and I'll report back after my SBo
upgrade campaign.

Sorry I was not more explicit about it: what I meant was to
rebuild/upgrade manually the importlib-metadata package, not the
setuptools-opt one.
Your "pip3 list" output reports a version that is far behind the
current one on SBo (4.10.1 vs 8.7.0).
Updating this first might fix your issues with setuptools-opt.
