Accidental FUD around setup.py

Brett Cannon (@brettcannon@fosstodon.org).
I’m seeing a bit of accidental FUD around setup.py in relation to pyproject.toml in Python packaging that I want to clear up.

The key point is setup.py isn’t going anywhere! If you want to keep using it to configure setuptools, then keep doing it! All you do in pyproject.toml is specify setuptools are your build back-end.

The thing that HAS changed is setuptools deprecated calling setup.py DIRECTLY; e.g., don’t do python3 setup.py bdist_wheel anymore, do pipx run build instead.
