Unable to build uharfbuzz with setuptools 75.2.0

[EdwinAponte]

I am unable to build uharfbuzz with setuptools 75.2.0, I get the error:

ERROR Missing dependencies:
setuptools<72.2,>=36.4

The build script can be found here: https://github.com/Ponce/slackbuilds/blob/current/python/python3-uharfbuzz/python3-uharfbuzz.SlackBuild

Thanks.

That's most likely pypa/distutils#283 . I see @anthrotype has already encountered it in a different project. Likely he could handle this one too?

[anthrotype]

i believe the upstream bug has been fixed in pypy/setuptools so we should be able to un-pin that, I'll try now

[anthrotype]

looks like the issue is still there. I temporarily un-pinned setuptools and it still fails with pypy, see the latest run of GH actions:

@EdwinAponte if you are not building on PyPy, then after this 9b607bd commit on main, it should work for you, as I relaxed the setuptools requirement for non-pypy

[anthrotype]

I just pushed a v0.41.1 tag, the only change will be to enable building from source using the latest setuptools (except for pypy where the above issue still occurs).

I can confirm that I can successfully build uharfbuzz-0.41.1 from source using setuptools 75.2. Thank you.
