Description

Legacy Python 2 packages can be built and installed with the historical setuptools workflow. It is useful for maintaining old applications that still ship setup.py files and cannot move to modern packaging yet.

This is a development support package for an end-of-life Python version. Avoid using it for new software, and be careful with package installation scripts because they execute code during builds.
