[BUG] 71.0.0 missing setuptools\cli-64.exe

[matthuisman]

setuptools version

setuptools==71.0.0

Python version

Python 3.10

OS

Windows 64 Bit

Additional environment information

No response

Description

trying to editable install a package with console_scripts and getting
error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\Users\mhuisman\Envs\3.10\lib\site-packages\setuptools\cli-64.exe'

reverting to setuptools==70.3.0 fixes the issue

Expected behavior

no error and installs succesfully

How to Reproduce

sorry, the code is close-sourced / work
but i suspect trying to install any setup.py with console_scripts in entry_points will cause the issue

I suspect the offending commit is fa7ee91. While all it does is add an include, my guess is that its presence causes other package data not to be included.

[jaraco]

Confirmed. If I revert that commit, the wheel gets the cli scripts. If I do that, however, setuptools/_vendor/jaraco/text/Lorem ipsum.txt is missing from the wheel.

I don't encounter this kind of fluctuation in other projects because I employ include_package_data=True, but setuptools has that disabled apparently due to #2505.

[jaraco]

Re-reading #2505, I see that the main issue was how bloated the wheels where, but it turned out they were bloated by design, primarily because they included new binary artifacts, binary artifacts that are now gone (wininst executables).

Therefore, I'd like to try to re-introduce include_package_data.

[matthuisman]

[setting this to high priority as requested by my manager] :P

[jaraco]

Attempting to restore include_package_data causes two tests to fail (tests designed to check for the exclusion of tests).

[jaraco]

I deleted the first test, as it's basically redundant to and covered by the latter test.

I've disabled the second test for now, so we can get a fix out sooner.

[de1acr0ix]

Perhaps release 71.0.0 shall be retracted from PyPI first, considering the impacts. There are 3 other bugs reported for this release as well...

[jaraco]

Yes, perhaps. Since 71.0.1 with the fix had to be yanked, this issue is once again open.

[jaraco]

Now that #4485 is removed, this fix should go out with the 71.0.2 release.

[matthuisman]

thanks for all your hardwork @jaraco
Id imagine yesterday was pretty stressful!

Hopefully today you can relax :)
