setuptools 58.x removes the use_2to3 option that some packages are still relying on. Affected packages emit warnings like the following with older versions of setuptools: /usr/lib/pypy3.7/site-packages/setuptools/lib2to3_ex.py:41: SetuptoolsDeprecationWarning: 2to3 support is deprecated. If the project still requires Python 2 support, please migrate to a single-codebase solution or employ an independent conversion process. SetuptoolsDeprecationWarning) Fixing roughly involves: 1. adding <dev-python/setuptools-58 BDEPEND to the current versions. 2. Filing a big upstream. 3. (optionally) adding an explicit 2to3 call to ebuild and removing use_2to3 from setup.py/setup.cfg (then removing <-dep on setuptools). The 2to3 calls usually look like: 2to3 -n -w --no-diffs <file/directory> || die

Treecleaners, if you have a minute, could you walk through the blockers and look for dead packages?
We now require a newer setuptools version, so I guess this is solved.
