Hi all, I spent some time looking at the fallout of the setuptools 50.0 release. There's quite a few small issues, those can/should all be worked around by pinning setuptools to a lower version.
The root cause and main longer-term issue is that numpy.distutils extends and monkeypatches distutils, which mostly was fine because distutils moved super slowly and had a decent QA process. Now with setuptools, any patch goes into master and gets released to the whole wide world without any testing. The summary of that and how to deal with it I posted on https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/2372 for discussion. Cheers, Ralf
