setuptools: Build system for Python packages#
Description#
setuptools is the classical build system for Python packages, a collection of enhancements to the Python distutils.
This package represents version 63.x of setuptools.
Sage installs this version to provide the build system
for non-PEP 517 packages. In particular, Sage uses it
for building numpy, whose build system numpy.distutils
is not compatible with newer versions of setuptools,
