Failed to build wheel-0.37.1 of sage-9.8.beta3 w/ sage's python-3.10 (on Fedora-37, x86_64)

Hi...

On Fedora 37 (x86_64): default python version is 3.11.0.

The build of sage 9.8.beta3 (configured w/o any options -> build the python-3.10 source package in sage) failed due to the error in importing setuptools while building wheel.

By configuring with an older version of Python in the fedora system (3.10.8, --with-python=/usr/bin/python3.10), the build is successful.

From the setuptools log:

Note the reference to /usr/local/lib. This is not expected.

I'd suggest rebuilding from scratch with PATH reduced to a minimum (without the various stuff from /usr/local/...)
