The `setuptools` package starting with `v70.1.0`[1] contains built-in
`bdist_wheel` command. Before this version `setuptools` relied on the
`bdist_wheel` command implementation from the `wheel` package. Starting with
`setuptools` `v75.8.1` the `PEP 491`[3] restrictions on the distribution name
of a wheel package are enforced[4], replacting also `.` with `_`. Note that
`PEP 491` actually allows `.` in the distribution name, but for some reason the
latest packaging docs[10][11] does not, stating that `.` should be replaced
with `_`. This was discussion here[12].
Also the `wheel` package starting with `v0.45.0`[5] is using the `bdist_wheel`
command from `setuptools`. This means that any package which has `.` in its
distribution name, like `ruamel.yaml.clib`, can have different wheel name,
depending on which version of the `bdist_wheel` command was used.
The `bdist_wheel` command from setuptools prior `v75.8.1` or `wheel` prior
`v0.45.0` will keep the dots in distribution name preserved. For exaple the
`ruamel.yaml.clib` package will have distribution name
`ruamel.yaml.clib-0.2.12.dist-info. Newer versions will replace the dots with
`_` according to [10][11], creating distribution like
`ruamel_yaml_clib-0.2.12.dist-info`.
From packaging point of view `ruamel.yaml.clib-0.2.12.dist-info` and
`ruamel_yaml_clib-0.2.12.dist-info` are the same packages, but this is not
reflected in `importlib.metadata` prior python 3.10[9], which does not perform
name normalization prior the distribution search. This causes the `version`
from `importlib.metadata` to fail on python prior the 3.10 version if the
package with dots in distribution name was generated with normalized paths with
newer `setuptools`. Note that the distribution name normalization was
backported to some later 3.9 python version.
Let's demonstrate this behavior on a simple package with the
`my.minimal.package` name.
```
my_minimal_package/
├── pkg
│ └── __init__.py
└── setup.py
from setuptools import setup, find_packages
setup(
name='my.minimal.package',
version='0.1.0',
packages=find_packages(),
install_requires=[],
entry_points={},
)
```
With python 3.9.0 search for `my.minimal.package` fails because
of the missing name normalization.
```
docker run --rm -it --platform linux/x86_64 python:3.9.0 bash
python -m venv venv
. venv/bin/activate
pip install setuptools==v75.8.1
python setup.py bdist_wheel
pip install dist/my_minimal_package-0.1.0-py3-none-any.whl

`my_minimal_package` succeeds.

In our `tools/check_python_dependencies.py` we cannot relay on the default
distribution finder, used in the `version` function from `importlib.metadata`,
to do name normalization on older python versions. To cope with this,
implement a fallback version search. If `version` fails with
`PackageNotFoundError`, do the name normalization according to [10][11] and try
again.
Note: There is also a `wheel`[6][7] `v0.43.0` package embeded in `setuptools`
along with the new implementation[8]. This one seems to be used if the
external `wheel` package is not available but imported. TBH this is all kinda
messy and I may have overlooked something.
