Issue with example python repo on Ubuntu..
A fresh checkout on

./pants
gives me this:
Copy code
x@y:~/tst/example-python$ ./pants list ::

Thanks, posted that and headed out.. realized that I hadn’t checked if there were any pre-req missing. But, I think we could improve the error message here.. to indicate what’s missing
But that did solve it 🙂

Hm, I was going to suggest cherry-picking https://github.com/pypa/packaging/pull/396 into Pex's vendor of packaging to remove this dependency on distutils, but 
sysconfig
was only added in Python 3.2+ So Pants would need to drop Py27 support. cc @enough-analyst-54434

Wouldn't help. Next issue you'd hit is a lack of 
-m venv
support unless you installed 
python-venv
on some of the Debian flavors. Can't remember which.
