Instead I get a circular chain of dependencies ... So if it isn't in the standard library, I haven't been using it. Pity, because lxml seems like it would solve some of my issues.

At my current company we’re in an awkward situation with python 2.7.1 and 2.7.5, I’ve found that a easy solution to circular dependencies caused by the new resolver is installing pip==20.2.4 and an older setuptools (I don’t have this version memorized) before doing anything.
