Thanks. You did.

It’s 2:48PM Saturday afternoon here 😃

I am using setup.py as part of distro packaging https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:jayvdb:py-new/python-PyFunceble

The dev branch also has the same problem https://github.com/funilrys/PyFunceble/blob/dev/setup.py#L193

Note this breaks any use of pkg_resources after installation, even unrelated to pyfunceble ; it breaks other packages installed into the same site-packages that pyfunceble is installed into. pytest is just one example.
