[BUG] setuptools on Python 3.8 does not normalize wheel names #5051
Description
setuptools version
setuptools==75.3.2
Python version
Python 3.8
OS

Additional environment information
No response
Description
Short version
setuptools v75.8.2 addressed an issue with wheel normalization (I think via #4853). Would it be possible to backport this and cut a final v75.3.3 release? I tried to propose a PR, but the v75.3.2 tag and the maint/75.3 branch it's on does not appear to match the 75.3.2 release on PyPI (the version and python-requires in pyproject.toml file is wrong and the git history looks off).
Long version
OpenStack recently started normalizing wheel names (yes, as it should have been doing all along). For example, oslo.messaging 14.9.1 uses periods in wheels, while oslo.messaging 14.9.2 uses underscores. Unfortunately this exposes a bug in the latest version of pkg_resources to support Python 3.8. We don't support this (upstream) EOL Python version for in recent releases but the stable/2024.1 release is still maintained for a few more months and that supports Python 3.8.
Expected behavior
pkg_resources.require should handle the differences between wheel file names and package names.
How to Reproduce
❯ virtualenv --python=python3.8 .venv
❯ source .venv/bin/activate
❯ pip install --upgrade setuptools
❯ pip install oslo.middleware
❯ python -c 'import pkg_resources; pkg_resources.require("oslo.middleware")'
❯ ls -la venv-py38/lib/python3.8/site-packages/ | grep oslo
Output
<string>:1: DeprecationWarning: pkg_resources is deprecated as an API. See https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/pkg_resources.html
