Hi @ovo-Tim, would it be possible to provide an example of failure that can be reproduced the issue outside of your personal machine (so we can inspect the code as it runs and investigate better)? When I tried to replicate the problem you are describing in a more controlled environment¹ everything seems to work fine:

> docker run --rm -it archlinux:base-20230723.0.166908 /bin/bash
pacman -Sy --needed --noconfirm python
python -m venv /tmp/.venv
/tmp/.venv/bin/python -m pip install -U 'pip==23.2.1'
/tmp/.venv/bin/python -m pip install 'fire==0.5.0'

# Successfully built fire
# Installing collected packages: termcolor, six, fire
# Successfully installed fire-0.5.0 six-1.16.0 termcolor-2.3.0

That might indicate that there is something wrong in your setup that is external to setuptools.

I would recommend you having a look on this quick guide from Stack Overflow on how to describe minimal reproducible examples, and then if possible to modify the example I provided above with the necessary steps to replicate the failure.

Here I am using a container to simulate the OS you are using + a virtual environment to minimise any eventual influence of OS-specific patches to pip/setuptools or any other packages that might be installed globally (this way we can test the code as it is provided in this repo). I am also using fire as example because it is a pure Python project that does not require extra building tools. ↩

I faced same problem in python3.8 environment and solved with @ovo-Tim 's solution.

Thanks for your help. I am sorry that I almost forgot this thread. You may should try to install python 3.8 or earlier version and test again. I am a little busy those days, I will give you an example that runs on docker a few weeks later. 🤗

I found this problem only happened when the python versions is lower than 3.10.
