[Python-modules-team] Bug#821014: Recent versions of setuptools no longer has or needs _markerlib

[Donald Stufft]

Source: python-pip
Version: 8.1.1-1

The python-pip package currently fails to build because it assumes the presence
of a _markerlib module, however recent versions of setuptools (20.2+) no longer
have a bundled _markerlib, causing the build to fail.

I believe the only requirement to actually fix this is to just remove the
references to _markerlib in debian/rules and anywhere else it's expecting that
module to exist. There isn't a new module to deal with since setuptools simply
replaced the use of _markerlib with the pypa/packaging library, which it was
already using and so is already being handled.
