This implies that the Distribution object does not have its

so I don't see how it could be None here.

Initially found the issue attempting to run python setup.py install on
the Apache airflow package. Then tried running the same command in python
daemon directly with the same problem.

Pip install seems to work without a problem.

I do have the same issue.
Is there any known workaround ?

From fresh Python 3.5 virtualenv and checking out release/2.1.2 tag […]

Before development can proceed, you need to have the correct
distributions installed. But Setuptools is preventing you from doing
that easily.

The dependencies are declared in the Setuptools configuration:

  • setup_requires declares dependencies for any Setuptools actions.

  • tests_require declares dependencies for running the test suite.

  • install_requires declares dependencies for installing the
    distribution.

etc.

So the bug is ;
Setuptools behaves incorrectly when setup_requires specifies a
distribution that is also a dependency in install_requires.

You can work around this Setuptools bug, by manually installing the
dependent distributions, in order to work on the code.

Thanks for the detailed answer @bignose.
Concretely, here the issue is with the docutils dependency ?
cf. https://pagure.io/python-daemon/blob/master/f/setup.py#_54

I can confirm that the following command reproduces the bug:

pip install https://pypi.python.org/packages/b2/fb/a280d65f81e9d69989c8d6c4e0bb18d7280cdcd6d406a2cc3f4eb47d4402/python-daemon-2.1.2.tar.gz

While this this works pefectly well:

pip install docutils
pip install https://pypi.python.org/packages/b2/fb/a280d65f81e9d69989c8d6c4e0bb18d7280cdcd6d406a2cc3f4eb47d4402/python-daemon-2.1.2.tar.gz

Thanks for the help ;)

I guess this issue is fixed by #23 (https://pagure.io/python-daemon/pull-request/23)

With a PEP 518 conformant build system specification, I think this issue is now resolved:

$ python3 -m pip install https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/8b/50/254c0b5b99c24fc79e41fd08269ad62549322a7356a52830f5f95b873c36/python-daemon-2.2.2.tar.gz
