#Python is just doing great. We're not having impossible constraints, as some projects need old #setuptools for pkg_resources, and other projects are starting to require newer setuptools for some fancy new features. And ofc after promising to release pkg_resources standalone over a month ago, setuptools upstream didn't deliver.

Aaand we're seeing the first '#setuptools < 82' runtime dependencies in random packages because they are trying hard to workaround breakage due to pkg_resources removal.

I hear that #Python folk are going to enjoy their Monday.
#setuptools removed pkg_resources.
Thanks to Eli Schwartz for the advance warning. We're going to mask it in #Gentoo.
