Python >3.7 should skip install `pathlib`, otherwise will be failed when existing package depends on `pathlib`

• If an exception occurs when executing a command, I executed it again in debug mode (-vvv option).

Issue

latest setuptools add a new vendor importlib_meta which used pathlib.

If my dependency depends on pathlib, poetry will still try to install it. But I don’t know why setuptools try to use the pypi pathlib rather than built-in pathlib, which PosixPath has no attribute read_text.

Than you have at least two options:

1. Contact the maintainer of this dependency, that they can add the python restriction to the pathlib dependency.
2. Add the restriction to your package as shown above. Poetry will than drop this dependency for python >3.4 as well.
