Not installable with modern Python

[mwtoews]

This package does not seem to install in a modern Python environment. For instance, in a venv for Python 3.8 on Linux:

$ pip install jsonschema2rst

      Suggested workarounds if applicable:
       - preinstalling build dependencies like setuptools_scm before running setup.py
       - installing setuptools_scm using the system package manager to ensure consistency
       - migrating from the deprecated setup_requires mechanism to pep517/518
         and using a pyproject.toml to declare build dependencies
         which are reliably pre-installed before running the build tools
