7760	ChimeraX build error caused by ChimeraX user site-packages setuptools module	Tom Goddard	Zach Pearson	"A ChimeraX build-from-scratch (with build directory deleted) failed because the alignment_headers bundle wheel file got version 0.0.0 instead of the correct 3.2.1

{{{
creating 'dist/ChimeraX_AlignmentHdrs-0.0.0-cp39-cp39-macosx_10_9_universal2.whl' 
}}}

This was caused by the build process using the ChimeraX user site-packages directory which had I guess an older setuptools from installing Toolshed bundles.

{{{
$ pwd
/Users/goddard/ucsf/chimerax/src/bundles/alignment_headers
$ make clean
$ make install
../../../ChimeraX.app/Contents/bin/python3.9 -I -m chimerax.core --nogui --safemode --exit --cmd ""devel install . user false exit true  ""
Executing: devel install . user false exit true  
/Users/goddard/Library/Application Support/ChimeraX/1.5/site-packages/setuptools/_distutils/dist.py:275: UserWarning: Unknown distribution option: 'distclass'
}}}

Seems like our build process should not be using the user site-packages directory.
