Long story short: Python 3.7/3.8 on Fedora with setuptools v60.0.0+ together create a bug that ultimately causes pylint to fail. See the first commit message for more detail.
I sent out a hotfix two weeks ago to fix this behavior on our CI, but there's a better workaround. This adds the better workaround and reverts the hotfix.
