I'd like to see what pip/setuptools devs have to say about this before rushing to patch it. Also, it's not really because of setuptools~=41.4. setuptools 48/49/50 try to change the way they patch distutils. But the problem seems to be that when running the build in isolation, extra site-packages get into PYTHONPATH causing the module mixup from two setuptools installations.
It looks like https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-forked/blob/master/pyproject.toml is causing build failures due to setuptools ~= 41.4 (console output below). This has been seen in other packages as well. A possible solution is to get rid of the file, or at least the setuptools pin.
