#3271 closed defect (fixed)

CircleCI image builders with pip older than 9 fail because of setuptools incompatiblity

Description

setuptools 45 has been released and only supports Python 3.5 and newer. It seems to come with a python_requires declaration announcing this. pip older than 9 fails to successfully interpret python_requires declarations, though, resulting in a Python 3-only setuptools being installed. Then, everything is broken because setuptools is incompatible with the version of Python in use.
