Description

Problem: setuptools-77 requires packaging>=24.2. Installation of pyquil
downgrades packaging to packaging-23 which breaks pre-installed setuptools.

Solution: Let packaging-24 and pyquil coexist in a Python environment.

Example:

$ pip install "setuptools>=77"
$ python -c "import setuptools" 
# OK

$ pip install pyquil
# packaging got downgraded to 23.2

$ python -c "import setuptools"
