From 762c280d5f3c17a239204a73855d8778f6dc2113 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: John Snow Date: Fri, 4 Feb 2022 17:18:03 -0500 Subject: Python: add setuptools v60.0 workaround Setuptools v60 and later include a bundled version of distutils, a deprecated standard library scheduled for removal in future versions of Python. Setuptools v60 is only possible to install for Python 3.7 and later. Python has a distutils.sysconfig.get_python_lib() function that returns '/usr/lib/pythonX.Y' on posix systems. RPM-based systems actually use '/usr/lib64/pythonX.Y' instead, so Fedora patches stdlib distutils for Python 3.7 and Python 3.8 to return the correct value. Python 3.9 and later introduce a sys.platlibdir property, which returns the correct value on RPM-based systems. The change to a distutils package not provided by Fedora on Python 3.7 and 3.8 causes a regression in distutils.sysconfig.get_python_lib() that ultimately causes false positives to be emitted by pylint, because it can no longer find the system source libraries. Many Python tools are fairly aggressive about updating setuptools packages, and so even though this package is a fair bit newer than Python 3.7/3.8, it's not entirely unreasonable for a given user to have such a modern package with a fairly old Python interpreter. Updates to Python 3.7 and Python 3.8 are being produced for Fedora which will fix the problem on up-to-date systems. Until then, we can force the loading of platform-provided distutils when running the pylint test. This is the least-invasive yet most comprehensive fix.
