'typing-extensions>=3.6.4; python_version < "3.8"' distribution was not found and is required by importlib-metadata

Hello, I am not sure if this issue comes from build it self but when testing with alpha version of python 3.10 I found this:

pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'typing-extensions>=3.6.4; python_version < "3.8"' distribution was not found and is required by importlib-metadata

I don't think this is our issue as it is the backend that is failing. It should be either setuptools or pkg_resources.

[FFY00]

Sorry, it is not the backend that is failing, it's twine.

Twine is only failing because its runtime dependencies are not satisfied. But either way this is not related in any way to build, which only deals with build dependencies.

[FFY00]

How is the dependency not satisfied if it is running on Python 3.10 and we have the python_version < "3.8" marker?

[uranusjr]

I have no idea, but that should be a problem for setuptools. (Maybe it's comparing versions wrong and thinking '3.10' < '3.8'.)

[FFY00]

Then the problem is not unsatisfied runtime dependencies, it's runtime dependencies not being properly verified 😊

I believe this can be closed, as this can be resolved by upgrading to setuptools>=49.0.0, as detailed at pypa/twine#724 (comment).
