Question: Why do we keep setuptools?
According to PEP453:
> Once pip is able to run pip install --upgrade pip without needing setuptools
> installed first, then the private copy of setuptools will be removed from
> ensurepip in subsequent CPython releases.
Which looks like to be the fact now:
$ python3.9 -m venv .venv
$ source .venv/bin/activate
$ pip uninstall setuptools
[...]
Successfully uninstalled setuptools-49.2.1
$ pip install --upgrade pip
[...]
Successfully installed pip-20.3.3
