Description Michał Górny archtester

2021-11-07 22:06:11 UTC

Since distutils is deprecated and going away, setuptools now bundles their own version.  It is currently activated (and patches away the standard module) when SETUPTOOLS_USE_DISTUTILS=local is set.  However, upstreams plans to make that the default at some point, so let's see what breaks.

================
IMPORTANT UPDATE
================

dev-python/setuptools-60+ now defaults to SETUPTOOLS_USE_DISTUTILS=local.  It also features some fixes for bugs affecting this scenario.  If you hit bugs with SETUPTOOLS_USE_DISTUTILS=local, please retest with the newest version of dev-python/setuptools.

I'm going to go through bugs reported so far, and verify whether they apply to the newest version.
