Expected behavior

The Error should not happen. It was working fine with setuptools 59.8.0

How to Reproduce

git clone https://github.com/google/jax.git
cd jax
python3.9 -m pip install -e .

Make sure the setuptools version in 60.0.0

I still have this problem on Ubuntu 22.04 with Python 3.10 and setuptools 63.2.0 installed. Is that normal?

Edit: I tried a lot of different versions of setuptools: 59,60,61,63 and none works. It works when using python3 setup.py develop --user instead of python3 -m pip install --user --editable.

Note that I also have to use the site.ENABLE_USER_SITE = "--user" in sys.argv[1:] workaround described in this pip issue. It seems to me like installing a development version becomes increasingly impossible.
