Do we need to split out a v44.0.0 version for our python2 packages? Good catch - I wish their [release history](https://pypi.org/project/setuptools/45.3.0/#history) gave any indication that they were dropping support for 2.7 after v45. It does run, but throws a dramatic warning: ``` pip2 -V /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/py2_warn.py:22: UserWarning: Setuptools will stop working on Python 2 ************************************************************ You are running Setuptools on Python 2, which is no longer supported and >>> SETUPTOOLS WILL STOP WORKING <<< in a subsequent release (no sooner than 2020-04-20). Please ensure you are installing Setuptools using pip 9.x or later or pin to `setuptools<45` in your environment. If you have done those things and are still encountering this message, please comment in https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/1458 about the steps that led to this unsupported combination. ************************************************************ sys.version_info < (3,) and warnings.warn(pre + "*" * 60 + msg + "*" * 60) pip 19.3.1 from /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip (python 2.7) ``` I'll split this package apart into python-setuptools (v44.0.0) and python3-setuptools (v46.0.0). Stand by for the changes!
