implicit build dependency on setuptools #64

Closed jaraco closed 2 years ago

jaraco commented 2 years ago

The current version of genshi has an implicit dependency on setuptools. Attempting to install without setuptools installed results in the following error:

~ $ pip install --no-deps git+https://github.com/edgewall/genshi

note: This is an issue with the package mentioned above, not pip.
hint: See above for details.

One may work around the issue by passing --use-pep517=true or setting PIP_USE_PEP517=true.

Instead, genshi should declare its build dependencies and backends using pep517 and pep518.
