Unused setuptools dependency #2359

Closed

I'm trying to figure out why setuptools is still in the list of "easy" dependencies.
The background is this bug report that I'm trying to solve: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1094339

From what I can see, it's only used during the packaging process, but there's nothing that would need setuptools at runtime.

Can you clarify where setuptools is used in the code, and if it can be safely removed from the runtime dependencies?

Thanks for the report! Yeah that's a legacy thing from before pyproject.toml[build] existed, I'll remove it in #2360
