v58.5.3

Misc
^^^^
* #2849: Add fallback for custom ``build_py`` commands inheriting directly from

v58.5.1

v58.3.0
-------
Changes
^^^^^^^
* #917: ``setup.py install`` and ``easy_install`` commands are now
officially deprecated. Use other standards-based installers (like
pip) and builders (like build). Workloads reliant on this behavior
should pin to this major version of Setuptools. See `Why you
shouldn't invoke setup.py directly
<https://blog.ganssle.io/articles/2021/10/setup-py-deprecated.html>`_
for more background.
* #1988: Deprecated the ``bdist_rpm`` command. Binary packages

-- by :user:`hugovk`
* #2785: Replace ``configparser``'s ``readfp`` with ``read_file``,
deprecated since Python 3.2.
-- by :user:`hugovk`
* #2823: Officially deprecated support for ``setup_requires``.
Users are encouraged instead to migrate to PEP 518
``build-system.requires`` in ``pyproject.toml``. Users reliant on
``setup_requires`` should consider pinning to this major version
to avoid disruption.

compared, and reference to the `PEP 440
<https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0440/>`_ scheme.
