The change from https://github.com/libgit2/pygit2/commit/aab211a842b17c8b699b2753301abb3a9ba7f1ad has incorrectly made setuptools a dependency of pygit2. It is not a runtime dependency, it is only a build dependency - pkg_resources / setuptools are not used outside of the installer script i.e. setup.py.
pkg_resources
setuptools
setup.py
This change removes the setuptools dependency from package metadata, and makes it possible to use pygit2 without needing setuptools installed at all.
