Warning on setup.py install

[sjunges]

I get the following warning:

(...)/site-packages/setuptools/installer.py:27: SetuptoolsDeprecationWarning: setuptools.installer is deprecated. Requirements should be satisfied by a PEP 517 installer.
  warnings.warn(

This link explains the situation:

I do not oversee whether we should just use pip instead:

Potentially related are:

• Continuous integration for anaconda #90
• python setup.py test is soon to be deprecated #10

This points to: https://github.com/scikit-build/scikit-build-core, which could indeed be a worthwhile direction.
