- Update to 70.0.0:
* Features
+ Emit a warning when [tools.setuptools] is present in pyproject.toml and
will be ignored.
+ Improved AttributeError error message if pkg_resources.EntryPoint.require
is called without extras or distribution Gracefully "do nothing" when
trying to activate a pkg_resources.Distribution with a None location,
rather than raising a TypeError.
+ Refresh unpinned vendored dependencies.
+ Updated vendored packaging to version 24.0.
+ Merged with pypa/distutils@55982565e.
+ Support PEP 625 by canonicalizing package name and version in filenames.
+ Explicitly use encoding="locale" for .pth files whenever possible, to
reduce EncodingWarnings.
+ Updated and removed obsolete Python < 3.8 code and comments.
+ Updated pkg_resources to use stdlib importlib.machinery instead of
importlib_machinery.
* Bugfixes
+ In install command, use super to call the superclass methods. Avoids
race conditions when monkeypatching from _distutils_system_mod occurs
late.
+ Fix finder template for lenient editable installs of implicit nested
namespaces constructed by using package_dir to reorganise directory
structure.
+ Remove attempt to canonicalize the version. It's already canonical
enough.
+ Clarify some pkg_resources methods return bytes, not str. Also return an
empty bytes in EmptyProvider._get.
+ Return an empty list by default in
pkg_resources.ResourceManager.cleanup_resources.
