Description Of Changes
MetPy stores project metadata in pyproject.toml following PEP 621. It uses
setuptools
as the build backend. Setuptools added support for PEP 621 in v61.0.0: https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/stable/history.html#v61-0-0However,
pyproject.toml
only mandatessetuptools>=42
. In practice I doubt it is really a problem, as the most recent version of setuptools is usually pulled in automatically when building metpy, although it is possible to contrive a problematic scenario by installing an older version of setuptools (setuptools==60
, e.g.) and usingpip install
's--no-build-isolation
option.Anyway, it is trivial to fix the issue, so there is little reason not to IMHO.
