No longer compatible with setuptools>=58

[jonringer]

They dropped support for use_2to3 in setuptools==58, package will fail to build:

       > error in pyownet setup command: use_2to3 is invalid.

version: 0.10.0.post1

Thanks for reporting... this is a very old codebase and it's time to drop python2 support and create a python3 only release!

Fortunately it is quite simple to do, since python3 was already the main development language, and the 2to3 fixes are quite trivial.

I will fix this issue in the 0.11.0 release. The wheels on pypi are unaffected, so it should be possible to install them as usual.

I have added a patch to my Repo to keep it running:

Hey @miccoli, I started packaging pyownet for Fedora and encountered this exact issue.
Are you ready to release python3-only 0.11.0 release? It would be appreciated :)

[miccoli]

@zdzichu sorry, I'm not ready to release 0.11.0 soon. However I tested the PEP 517 build API in 1b2e8d1 , and it seems that it is working as expected.

I do not know how are the Fedora python packages are constructed, but a straightforward PEP 517 packaging strategy could be

/usr/bin/python -m build --wheel
/usr/bin/python -m installer --destdir="$pkgdir" dist/*.whl

using the build and installer python packages.

If a PEP517 compliant installation is of use for Fedora, I can backport 1b2e8d1 to a new 0.10.1 release.

Hey @miccoli,
I redid the packaging, using 1b2e8d1
It looks like it is building fine!
I've opened a review request to have the package included in Fedora: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2256125
