Python version

Python 3.8.15

Description

Installing a package kappa=0.6.0 doesn't work. I think it could be the issue on setuptools's side.

Expected behavior

Installing the package works.

How to Reproduce

$ python3.8 -m venv .venv
$ source .venv/bin/activate
$ pip install setuptools==65.6.2
$ pip install wheel
$ pip install kappa==0.6.0

Output

I've been experiencing the same issue on python 3.7.9, I think I've narrowed it down to the patching happening in setuptools.logging where a root logger at distutils.dist.log which has that attributed is overwritten by a seemingly broken logger from distutils.log which does not have the warning attribute.

I might suggest a very naive potential solution for the maintainers of this repo is to simply reverse the patch so the functional logger from distutuls.dist.log is the one that is used everywhere rather than the broken logger from distutils.log

My pull request with the above change:
#3708

We're also hitting this in our github actions (py3.8/3.9) and locally (py3.11).

reproducer: pip install -U git+https://github.com/SatelliteQE/airgun.git@master#egg=airgun

failing actions against python 3.8 and 3.9:
https://github.com/SatelliteQE/robottelo/actions/runs/3534164190/jobs/5930929334

@jaraco it looks like this was an unintended consequence of #3674

[abravalheri]

I believe that the reason why the test suite did not catch this problem is because the conditions are somehow rare: the setup.py needs to use tuples for the classifiers or similar fields.

If the setup.py is using tuples, distutils will try to display a warning, which will cause the problem.

Regardless, I am working on a fix in #3709.

Hi, now that setuptools 65.6.3 is released, maybe you can yank (delete) the versions causing the bug (65.6.2 and 65.6.1) from pypi.

We are currently running poetry to install packages based out of pyproject.toml file, one particular package: google-oauth (version 1.0.0) breaks while running 'poetry install' with below output:

Can you please suggest if setuptools latest version will solve the Attribute error ?

@abhinov-netapp I believe so:
