ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'setuptools'

Steps to Reproduce

1. Have an existing project with a setup.py file
2. Run rye init

The setup.py is extremely simple:

from setuptools import setup

# See setup.cfg file

if __name__ == "__main__":
    setup()

I know the docs say "Note that Rye today does not support setup.py based projects," but also I found this issue, which suggests rye init should work in some capacity.

I guess rye init --no-import could be a workaround, but that would complicate the project setup.

I also uninstalled and re-installed Rye to make sure it wasn't some issue with my installation.

Expected Result

The project can be initialized successfully.

Actual Result

error: failed to proxy setup.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
