As someone who actively contributes to Python packages using the setuptools cli interface, this is jarring. I had no idea. I guess I'll move my build process to some other tools.
I started contributing to Python about a year ago. At that time, all of the results when you google "how to build a python package" refer to the setuptools CLI with setup.py. I put it in my workflow and bam, I've been using it ever since without incident.
