Importing setuptools in a python interpreter works fine:
rocko@ubuntu:~$ python3
Python 3.10.2 (main, Feb 26 2022, 08:21:15) [GCC 11.2.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> try:
... import setuptools
... print('ok')
... except ImportError as error:
... print('failed')
...
ok
>>>
But this same code fails when pip tries to install pathlib:
rocko@ubuntu:~$ pip -v install pathlib
Using pip 22.0.2 from /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pip (python 3.10)
Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable
Collecting pathlib
Using cached pathlib-1.0.1.tar.gz (49 kB)

# This is <pip-setuptools-caller> -- a caller that pip uses to run setup.py
#
# - It imports setuptools before invoking setup.py, to enable projects that
directly
# import from `distutils.core` to work with newer packaging standards.
# - It provides a clear error message when setuptools is not installed.
# - It sets `sys.argv[0]` to the underlying `setup.py`, when invoking
`setup.py` so
# setuptools doesn'"'"'t think the script is `-c`. This avoids the
following warning:
# manifest_maker: standard file '"'"'-c'"'"' not found".
# - It generates a shim setup.py, for handling setup.cfg-only projects.
