I proposed we finally update #setuptools in #Fedora 42. It breaks a lot of #Python packages :(
150+ packages use the now-removed `setup.py test` command, which was deprecated for 5 years.
I am looking forward to when `setup.py build` and `setup.py install` will be removed as well, that will certainly be fun. Perhaps we should deprecate the old Python RPM macros more loudly (with sleeps, ASCII art Jolly Rogers, and beeps).
