The problem is caused by Pip and Setuptools failing to correctly handle ‘setup_requires’ dependencies. See the bug report at https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/457

The latest version of ‘python-daemon’, version 2.2.3, now has a PEP-518 conformant build system specification. https://pagure.io/python-daemon/blob/c1d0fdf88c43dc9dbb3feba6d792beadb3c32483/f/pyproject.toml

I believe recent versions of build tools will correctly interpret the build dependencies from that file.
