pip install hachoir[urwid] fails on "recent" setuptools versions #93
Description
hachoir[urwid] requires urwid==1.3.1 (released on 2015-11-02)
This produces distutils.errors.DistutilsSetupError: use_2to3 is invalid.
use_2to3 was indeed removed from setuptools 58 (released on 2021-09-05)
Software environment:
- KDE neon 6.0 (based on Ubuntu 22.04)
- Python 3.10.12
Commands run:
$ python3 -m venv env-hachoir
$ cd env-hachoir
$ . bin/activate
$ pip install hachoir
Successfully installed hachoir-3.3.0
$ pip install hachoir[urwid]
Requirement already satisfied: hachoir[urwid] in ./lib/python3.10/site-packages (3.3.0)

(...)A workaround (or solution) is to require a more recent (or most recent) version of urwid.
hachoir-urwid works fine for me with the latest urwid (2.6.7).
