Installation error with `setuptools==60.1.0`

See original GitHub issue

The latest setuptools has removed get_versions method according to this PR. But mpi4py uses this method for installation as follows: https://github.com/mpi4py/mpi4py/blob/499468c8d1af7746841bdc7ddc6c6aefe61be78a/conf/mpidistutils.py#L32-L33

As a result, I saw the following error when I tries installing mpi4py

#9 49.81   Traceback (most recent call last):

Workaround

Set the environment variable SETUPTOOLS_USE_DISTUTILS to stdlib, next install mpi4py.

For example, in a bash or zsh shell:

export SETUPTOOLS_USE_DISTUTILS=stdlib
pip install mpi4py

SETUPTOOLS_USE_DISTUTILS=stdlib pip install mpi4py

or using the env command

env SETUPTOOLS_USE_DISTUTILS=stdlib pip install mpi4py
