Incompatible with newer setuptools (>=58.0.0) due to use of 2to3 in setup.py
willfurnass opened this issue · comments
There's been a breaking change in setuptools 58 (https://setuptools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/history.html): PR 2086
removed support for 2to3 during builds. Projects should port to a unified codebase or pin to an older version of Setuptools using PEP 518 build-requires.
Attempts to install this package alongside setuptools >= 58 result in:
error in sphinx-bootstrap-theme setup command: use_2to3 is invalid.
is 2to3=True still needed in setup.py?
It seems the only file where 2to3 is really useful is in fabfile.py with urllib2 (that and the fabric requirement that should be fabric3 in python3. Other than that I don't see why the use of 2to3=True.
We might also need to change SimpleHTTPServer as http.server since this was a Python2 module.
