ERROR: Can not execute setup.py since setuptools is not available in the build environment.

[Aufschlauer]

When I try to run cli.py I get the error

  Using cached MarkupSafe-2.1.3.tar.gz (19 kB)
  Preparing metadata (setup.py) ... error
  error: subprocess-exited-with-error

The hint that the setup tools are missing seems to be misleading. According to the complete output

Requirement already satisfied: setuptools in ./.venv-app/lib/python3.9/site-packages (from pip-tools) (58.1.0)

setuptools are installed.

Here is the complete output:

Anyone here with the similar experience?

I found pypa/packaging-problems#573 and maybe this is the solution: pypa/packaging-problems#573 (comment)

pip install --upgrade setuptools

Run this first and then the cli.py... But maybe we can add this fix in the bootstrap script...
