I find that very surprising:

./python -E -S -m sysconfig --generate-posix-vars ;\
        if test $? -ne 0 ; then \
                echo "generate-posix-vars failed" ; \
                rm -f ./pybuilddir.txt ; \
                exit 1 ; \
        fi
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./setup.py", line 4, in <module>
    import sys, os, importlib.machinery, re, argparse
  File "/home/stefan/althome/pydev/commit-master-LATEST/Lib/argparse.py", line 93, in <module>
    from gettext import gettext as _, ngettext

    import locale, copy, io, os, re, struct, sys

    from _struct import *
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_struct'

Yes, it is important, because you called the original a "dirty hack", which
some core devs do not appreciate.
