== Summary ==
Update to a new upstream release of python-setuptools that is not
completely compatible with previous releases. Since version 58+
upstream removed support for 2to3 during builds. This is a breaking
change and projects are encouraged to port to a unified codebase.

== Detailed Description ==
Setuptools is a package development process library designed to
facilitate packaging Python projects by enhancing the Python standard
library distutils (distribution utilities). It changes fast and it
often introduces breaking changes such as the removal of support for
2to3 during the builds in version 58.0.0 which was
[https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/blob/main/CHANGES.rst#v4620
deprecated] since version 46.2.0 present in Fedora 33. `use_2to3` used
to help to translate Python 2.x programs to Python 3.x. But since
Python 2 reached its end of life on 1st January 2020 and lib2to3 was
removed from Python 3 in version 3.10, developers are encouraged to
drop support for Python 2 and migrate to Python 3. It is still
possible to use command line `2to3` tool in Python 3.10, but it will
be deprecated in 3.11 and removed in 3.13.
List of packages that will likely fail to build, because they use the
removed use_2to3 option.

== Benefit to Fedora ==
Fedora offers cutting edge technologies for Python and Setuptools is
one of the most important Python packages. By doing this update we
bring users the latest features that Setuptools offers and also we
enable Fedora 36 to receive future updates as well.
== Scope ==
* Proposal owners: update python-setuptools to 58.x.x, provide help
* Other developers: report problems to the upstream and backport patch
to the affected packages. The impact can be tested using
[https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/thrnciar/setuptools-impact-check/...
copr repository] where Setuptools 58.0.4 has been built.
* Release engineering: N/A
* Policies and guidelines: N/A (not needed for this Change)
* Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change)
* Alignment with Objectives:
== Upgrade/compatibility impact ==
There is a clean upgrade path from current version to
python-setuptools 58.x.x. Fedora users using RPM-packaged Setuptools
will use Setuptools 58.x.x by default.
== How To Test ==
* Find the package you want to update in this
[https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/thrnciar/setuptools-impact-check/...
copr repository] and check the build logs to determine the fail cause.
* Work with the upstream to resolve the issue or drop the need for
2to3 during the build of the package.
* When updating the package, you can test it using the same copr
repository where the latest version of Setuptools has been built.
* Let us know if something doesn't work as it should.
== User Experience ==
Regular distro users shouldn't notice any change in Setuptools
behaviour, except for packages that use 2to3 to transform Python 2.x
source code into Python 3.x source code. Such packages will fail with
`error in <package name> setup command: use_2to3 is invalid` and
should be fixed by their maintainers.
== Contingency Plan ==
* Contingency mechanism: (What to do? Who will do it?) N/A (not a
System Wide Change)
* Contingency deadline: N/A (not a System Wide Change)
* Blocks release? N/A (not a System Wide Change)
