Running

python3 -Im ensurepip --upgrade --default-pip

in a directory that contains a setup.cfg / setup.py combination, caused ensurepip to try and use these files, leading to

distutils.errors.DistutilsOptionError: error in setup.cfg: command 'build' has no such option 'icons'

A full shell session is attached that contains details on the exact files and python version involved involved.

I was under the impression ensurepip simply ensured that a suitable version of pip is installed with my Python distribution in use.
