--- Comment #12 from Yuri Victorovich <y...@freebsd.org> --- (In reply to Charlie Li from comment #11) Dear Charlie, distutils and setuptools aren't required ot be present in the suggested approach. They would only be needed if pyproject.toml would explicitly specify them as a dependency. "build" is a user intent, not a package name. It is such so that it can be easily remembered. > [...] in terms of future-proofing, this cannot go into the framework without > also converting the toolchain to setuptools-less bootstrapping. This is a more global issue. setuptools and distutils aren't going anywhere regardless of what standards say, simply because there are so many projects that use them. This potential problem can be solved once it becomes a real problem. And it won't become a real problem any time soon.
