Setuptool not available

I cannot install khal from source.

I do have setuptools in my environment.

I remove my package manager python's packages and installed them from pip, and it now works.

But I think we need a pyproject.toml

Was setuptools installed in that python installation? Does this work?

python -c "import setuptools" && echo ok
