syntax error for ARM centos7.9 and centos8.2 python3.6

[jsofri]

interpreter: python3.6
OS: centos7.9/centos8.2
arch: ARM

there's no wheel when pip install, hence there is a build from source which causes a syntax error. the installation is a part of another module (pylint)
When installed on x86 (same python interpreter and OSs) there is no problem

logs is the same for both OSs

after some more research, seems it has to do with astroid version update

pylint-dev/astroid#1713

This in theory could be solved by having an upper constraint on setuptools_scm but unfortunately that brings in other problems.

A workaround on your side could be to pre-install setuptools-scm in your build env so it's not downloaded automatically using some broken resolver. Why is the resolver broken? Maybe your pip/setuptools are too old.
