Unable to pip install from python docker images

[remicres]

Hello,

pip fails to install fastapi_keycloak on the following docker images:

• python3.8
• python3.8-slim
• python3.9-slim
• python3.10-slim

I have no clue why it fails (tested with pip==22.3, 22.1.2, 22.2)

have you tried setting this in the env? SETUPTOOLS_USE_DISTUTILS=stdlib

see pypa/setuptools#2965 (comment) or the documentation

I have tried that, and also I played with different versions of pip, setuptools, and wheel. Without success unfortunately. If you can provide some minimal dockerfile takeway, I am interested
