In setuptools 65.6.0 the vendored distutils package changed to relative
imports. Importing
Command
fromsetuptools._distutils
previouslyworked but now fails because it imports an unpatched version of
distutils, which breaks the build.
Importing
Command
directly fromdistutils
orsetuputils
willreceive a monkey patched version that works.
Reported upstream at pypa/setuptools#3743 and the problem was investigated by Anderson Bravalheri.
Closes: #77
