            Bug ID: 254168
           Summary: webkitcorepy fails to install with setuptools >=
                    60.0.0
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Nightly Build
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Tools / Tests
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

setuptools made some changes regarding distutils for version 60. By adding the environment variable `SETUPTOOLS_USE_DISTUTILS=stdlib` setuptools will use the standard library version of distutils and succeed building webkitcorepy. Otherwise, it will fail an assertion with a stack trace similar to this:

We'll need to take this into account when we bump our setuptools requirement.
