Detailed Description

Setuptools is a package development process library designed to facilitate packaging Python projects by enhancing the Python standard library distutils (distribution utilities). It changes fast and it often introduces breaking changes such as the removal of support for 2to3 during the builds in version 58.0.0.

Benefit to Fedora

Fedora offers cutting edge technologies for Python and Setuptools is one of the most important Python packages. By doing this update we bring users the latest features that Setuptools offers and also we enable Fedora 36 to receive future updates as well.

Scope

• Proposal owners: update python-setuptools to 58.x.x, provide help

• Other developers: report problems to the upstream and backport patch to the affected packages. The impact can be tested using copr repository where Setuptools 58.0.4 has been built.

• Release engineering: #Releng issue number

• Policies and guidelines: N/A (not needed for this Change)

• Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change)

• Alignment with Objectives:

Upgrade/compatibility impact

There is a clean upgrade path from current version to python-setuptools 58.x.x. Fedora users using RPM-packaged Setuptools will use Setuptools 58.x.x by default.
