[New-bugs-announce] [issue42744] pkg_resources seems to treat python 3.10 as python 3.1

[RhinosF1]

New submission from RhinosF1 <rhinosf1 at gmail.com>:

As seen in https://github.com/MirahezeBots/MirahezeBots/pull/380/checks?check_run_id=1609121656, pkg_resources is throwing errors about version conflicts as it seems it thinks 3.10 is 3.1 or similar. This was fixed for PyPA/Pip in https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/6730 so it installs from pip fine.
