Hi !
This bug is not a bug into devel/py-setuptools, but devel/py-wheel (I don't
know how to change the information of this bug).

This bug seems to me kind of circular dependency from devel/py-wheel, and
affects those who compile from source and scratch.
devel/py-wheel installs
"/usr/local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/wheel/_bdist_wheel.py" and that file
has a line to ask for the installed version of devel/py-setuptools.
At that point, devel/py-setuptools is not installed, and _bdist_wheel.py not
executed.
While installing devel/py-setuptools, _bdist_wheel.py is executed, but there is
not yet some py-setuptools installed, hence no version number available, and
devel/py-setuptools fails to install.

I added this patch in devel/py-wheel/files/patch-_bdist_wheel_py.diff and
re-installed devel/py-wheel. Everything seems Ok now :
