Per my reasoning in the discourse thread, I disagree with this move. I think that this should be handled in setuptools, which is where we tend to handle breaking changes or even enhancements to distutils. If we do this in setuptools, we'll get a backport of the deprecation and removal back to 3.5, and it will make it easier to maintain setuptools. The deprecation of bdist_wininst in Python 3.8 already made it harder to maintain setuptools with no real benefit to the CPython project, I would prefer to not repeat this mistake. ---------- nosy: +p-ganssle _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue39541> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
