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. |
