Hi Sean,

Thanks for the reply and the swift resolution. Regarding your suggestions:
0. I can confirm that after uninstalling the pip basetools, the error disappears and the build works.
1. It also works if I rename ".venv" to something that starts after B (such as venv)
2. It also works if I place the venv outside the source tree.

Thanks once again for the help,
Ryder
