Description (last modified by daira)
If we removed the remaining use of setup_requires, which applies only to Windows, I think it would fix at least the following tickets:
- #2286 (the version of a library chosen for a setup requirement can conflict with a build requirement)
- #2066 (setup.py performs work without a command being specified)
and it would be the next-step on improving these ones:

The Magic Folder branch, https://github.com/tahoe-lafs/tahoe-lafs/commits/1431.magic-folder-windows.2, does not use setup_requires.

- Milestone changed from undecided to 1.11.0
- Resolution set to fixed
- Status changed from new to closed
We've stopped using setup_requires= everywhere, so this can be closed out.
Note: See
TracTickets for help on using
tickets.
I think that we should press ahead with #2077 for non-Windows platforms and worry about removing the use of setup_requires on Windows later. This would avoid some thorny problems, including the fact that zetuptoolz does strange things on Windows to support running scripts.
