When checking the impact of upgradign pip from 23.0.1 to 23.1.2 in https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-pip/pull-request/123 I realized setroubleshoot repeatedly fails with the new pip but succeeds with the old one. The error is: /usr/bin/python3 -m pip install `test -n "/builddir/build/BUILDROOT/setroubleshoot-3.3.32-2.fc39.x86_64" && echo --root /builddir/build/BUILDROOT/setroubleshoot-3.3.32-2.fc39.x86_64` \ `test -n "/usr" && echo --prefix /usr` .

I think this can be fixed by adding --no-build-isolation to pip install: $ pip install --help | grep isolation --no-build-isolation Disable isolation when building a modern source Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Build setroubleshoot e.g. in https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/churchyard/pip-23.1.2 Actual Results: Build fails. Expected Results: Build succeeds. All logs available at https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/churchyard/pip-23.1.2/package/setroubleshoot/
