At some point getting rid of the setup.py will become mandatory

At some point getting rid of the setup.py will become mandatory

I am not using it. PyMca should build fine with python -m build

I guess Debian needs it in order to split the package into data, documentation and so on, but PyMca does not use setuptools.

[build-system] requires = [ "setuptools", "wheel", "oldest-supported-numpy; python_version< '3.9'", "numpy >= 2.0.0; python_version >= '3.9'", "Cython" ] build-backend = "setuptools.build_meta" yes you are using setuptools ;), I will try to build only from this and see what is going one. thanks Fred

Hello after removing the setup.py, I try to build and got this. ``` $ python -m build * Creating isolated environment: venv+pip... * Installing packages in isolated environment: - Cython - numpy >= 2.0.0; python_version >= '3.9' - oldest-supported-numpy; python_version< '3.9' - setuptools - wheel * Getting build dependencies for sdist... error: Multiple top-level packages discovered in a flat-layout: ['icons', 'PyMca5', 'package']. To avoid accidental inclusion of unwanted files or directories, setuptools will not proceed with this build. If you are trying to create a single distribution with multiple packages on purpose, you should not rely on automatic discovery. Instead, consider the following options: 1. set up custom discovery (`find` directive with `include` or `exclude`) 2. use a `src-layout` 3. explicitly set `py_modules` or `packages` with a list of names To find more information, look for "package discovery" on setuptools docs. ERROR Backend subprocess exited when trying to invoke get_requires_for_build_sdist ```

yes you are using setuptools ;), I will try to build only from this and see what is going one.

Ok. I do not think you can avoid it for the time being then. I thought i was not using setuptools because python 3.12 was explicitly preventing the call to setup.py. I do not think you can avoid using setup.py then (for the time being).

I have checked matplotlib, and they still have setuptools in pyproject.toml

https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/blob/main/pyproject.toml

[picca]

the problem with Python3.12 is about distutils not setuptools. :) I agreed thaht I need setup.py until the full integration is done in pyproject.toml or setup.cfg Cheers Fred

The doc should compile now.

I have been able to reproduce the warning and correct it in #1084 with a recent sphinx. I have used the command below to generate the documentation:

sphinx-build ./doc/source ./dist/doc
