@2ck Not to say your annoyance isn't justified 😀 but I have to imagine this is still less annoying than what's going to happen in the future when you find yourself unable to run setup.py at all anymore.

#Python

@diazona heh. I'm probably going to switch these projects over to the new hotness eventually if they even continue to have any relevance. I've barely touched them in the past 2-3 years

@diazona @2ck

I've spent the last couple of hours trying to set up an abandonware project that is purely setup.py-based. I don't miss these at all.

#pyproject

@cazabon trust, I don't have a misplaced love for setup.py either: almost all of the python projects I've worked on don't have a need for the full power and complexity of the python interpreter to specify their packaging requirements, so I'm happy to abandon setup.py. it's just that I didn't have any desire to do it right then
