setuptools-74.1.2

[Bruce Dubbs]

New major version.

I don't know why this package has so much churn lately.

[Xi Ruoyao]

Features

• Mark abstract base classes and methods with abc.ABC and abc.abstractmethod -- by :user:Avasam (#4503)
• Changed the order of type checks in setuptools.command.easy_install.CommandSpec.from_param to support any collections.abc.Iterable of str param -- by Avasam (#4505)

Bugfixes

• Prevent an error in bdist_wheel if compression is set to a str (even if valid) after finalizing options but before running the command. -- by Avasam (#4383)
• Raises an exception when py_limited_api is used in a build with Py_GIL_DISABLED. This is currently not supported (python/cpython#111506). (#4420)
• Synced with pypa/distutils@30b7331 including fix for modified check on empty sources (pypa/distutils#284).

Deprecations and Removals

• setuptools is replacing the usages of ordered_set with simple instances of dict[Hashable, None]. This is done to remove the extra dependency and it is possible because since Python 3.7, dict maintain insertion order. (#4574)

Misc

• #4534, #4546, #4554, #4559, #4565

[Bruce Dubbs]

Now version 73.0.1.

[Xi Ruoyao]

Bugfixes

• Remove abc.ABCMeta metaclass from abstract classes. ​pypa/setuptools#4503 had an unintended consequence of causing potential TypeError: metaclass conflict: the metaclass of a derived class must be a (non-strict) subclass of the metaclasses of all its bases -- by Avasam (#4579)

[Bruce Dubbs]

Now version 74.0.0.

[Xi Ruoyao]

• Changed the type of error raised by setuptools.command.easy_install.CommandSpec.from_param on unsupported argument from AttributeError to TypeError -- by Avasam (#4548)
• Added detection of ARM64 variant of MSVC -- by saschanaz (#4553)
• Made setuptools.package_index.Credential a typing.NamedTuple -- by Avasam (#4585)
• Reraise error from setuptools.command.easy_install.auto_chmod instead of nonsensical TypeError: 'Exception' object is not subscriptable -- by Avasam (#4593)
• Fully typed all collection attributes in pkg_resources -- by Avasam (#4598)
• Automatically exclude .tox|.nox|.venv directories from sdist. (#4603)

Deprecations and Removals

• Removed the monkeypatching of distutils._msvccompiler. Now all compiler logic is consolidated in distutils. (#4600)
• Synced with pypa/distutils@58fe058e4, including consolidating Visual Studio 2017 support (#4600, pypa/distutils#289), removal of deprecated legacy MSVC compiler modules (pypa/distutils#287), suppressing of errors when the home directory is missing (pypa/distutils#278), removal of wininst binaries (pypa/distutils#282). (#4606)

Misc

• #4592

[Xi Ruoyao]

Replying to Xi Ruoyao:

• removal of deprecated legacy MSVC compiler modules (pypa/distutils#287)

This will break gobject-introspection. As we don't have MSVC compiler, we can work it around:

sed -e '/import MSVC/d' -e 's/isinstance.*MSVCCompiler)/False/' -i giscanner/ccompiler.py

[Bruce Dubbs]

Now version 74.1.0.

[Xi Ruoyao]

Features

• Added support for defining ext-modules via pyproject.toml (EXPERIMENTAL, may change in future releases). (#4568)

Bugfixes

• Merge with pypa/distutils@3dcdf8567, removing the duplicate vendored copy of packaging. (#4622)
• Restored setuptools.msvc.Environmentinfo as it is used externally. (#4625)

[Bruce Dubbs]

Now version 74.1.1.
