Paul Ganssle <p.gans...@gmail.com> added the comment: Well, there's some tentative plan for `setuptools` to completely adopt distutils, so in some sense all distutils bugs are setuptools bugs as well.
That said, the reason to report it in setuptools as well is that setuptools still supports Python 2.7, 3.5 and 3.6, so even if this bug is fixed in the standard library, it still needs to be fixed in setuptools. Of course it may not be easy or feasible to fix it in setuptools until *after* we fully adopt distutils, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ might as well still report it. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35893> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
