oh no, looks like https://github.com/mitogen-hq/mitogen/issues/672 all over again :(

Note to Mitogen contributors: last time it was based on specific python version 🤦 🤦‍♂️ : https://github.com/mitogen-hq/mitogen/issues/672#issuecomment-636408833 the relative import is still in the setup module: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/v2.10.5/lib/ansible/modules/setup.py#L127
