Deprecations and Removals
Further adoption of UTF-8 in
setuptools
. This change regards mostly files produced and consumed during the build process (e.g. metadata files, script wrappers, automatically updated config files, etc..) Although precautions were taken to minimize disruptions, some edge cases might be subject to backwards incompatibility.Support for
"locale"
encoding is now deprecated. (#4309)Remove
setuptools.convert_path
after long deprecation period. This function was never defined bysetuptools
itself, but rather a side-effect of an import for internal usage. (#4322)Remove fallback for customisations of
distutils
'build.sub_command
after long deprecated period. Users are advised to importbuild
directly fromsetuptools.command.build
. (#4322)Removed
typing_extensions
from vendored dependencies -- by :user:Avasam
(#4324)Remove deprecated
setuptools.dep_util
. The provided alternative issetuptools.modified
. (#4360)
