Ok, so the sphinx-prompt situation is worse than I thought.
Previously, the #Python package was installed as sphinx-prompt (yes, with a hyphen). It worked only because of how #Sphinx imports Python modules. People were literally asked to write:
extensions += ['sphinx-prompt']
1.8.0 renames the package to sphinx_prompt which naturally breaks backwards compatibility. So upstream is indulging in hacks to install it under both names for backwards compatibility.
A side effect is a wheel that's technically invalid but apparently accepted by all common frontends.
What a mess. A mess that would have been avoided if upstream #packaging weren't the primary way of distributing this package. An experienced distribution packager would spot the problem with the old name right away.

From the State of #Maine:
Alternatives to #PFAS in #Food #Packaging [PDF]
"PFAS in Food Packaging
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) invites stakeholder comment on the attached department rule concept draft language which would prohibit manufacturers, suppliers, and distributors from offering for sale or for promotional purposes in Maine certain types of food packaging to which per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been intentionally introduced, as authorized by Maine Revised Statutes, Title 32, Section 1733(3-B).
Maine law authorizes the Department to prohibit the sale of a food package to which PFAS have been intentionally introduced in any amount greater than an incidental presence if the Department determines that a safer alternative to the use of PFAS in a specific application to a food package is readily available in sufficient quantity and at a comparable cost, and that the safer alternative performs as well or better than PFAS in the specific application of PFAS to a food package.
In February 2021, the Washington State Department of Ecology (Washington DOE) published the Per- and Poly-fluoroalkyl Substances in Food Packaging Alternatives Assessment, identifying 4 types of food packaging that meet Washington’s statutory criteria for a prohibition:
Food Packaging Type and Alternative Identified as Safer
Wraps and liners - Wax-coated alternatives
Plates - Clay-coated and reusable alternatives
Food boats - Clay-coated and reusable alternatives
Pizza boxes - Uncoated alternatives
In May 2022, Washington DOE published a second alternatives assessment report, Safer Alternatives to PFAS in Food Packaging, which modified their process in two ways: first, by adjusting the concept of food packaging application to be more focused on its function rather than the package’s name; second, by relying on marketability to demonstrate cost and availability rather than direct price comparison of final products. This report identified safer alternatives for all five of the food packaging applications reviewed:
Food Packaging Type and Alternative
Bags and sleeves - Densified paper and wax-coated options
Bowls - Clay-coated, #polylactic acid-coated, polylactic acid foam, and reusable options
Flat serviceware - Clay-coated, polylactic acid-coated, polylactic acid foam, and reusable options
Open-top containers - Clay-coated, densified paper, wax-coated, polylactic acid-coated, polylactic acid foam, aluminum, and reusable options
Closed containers - Clay-coated, polylactic acid-coated, polylactic acid foam, and aluminum options
Because language in Washington’s related law mirrors criteria for determination in Maine law, the Department proposes to rely on the conclusions in these reports that the safer alternatives identified perform as well as, or better, than PFAS in the specific applications of PFAS to the food package.
The Department requests written comment on this section of the Rule Chapter 80 Concept Draft by August 21, 2023.
The Department intends to initiate formal rulemaking with the Board of Environmental Protection this fall to amend the existing Chapter 80 to incorporate these prohibitions. This will be a major substantive rulemaking subject to review by the legislature before final adoption.
Please email Kerri.Malinowski@maine.gov with your name, affiliation, contact information, and comment in response to this request for stakeholder engagement."

But the data don’t lie: The amount of stuff we throw out has grown astronomically, while the amount of cardboard entering the municipal waste stream has remained, in effect, flat."

@pamelafox maybe your use-case could be solved with dynamic versioning and setuptools in pyproject.toml? Like

...

Here's an unexpectedly complicated #Python #packaging problem I've run into: say I have a package for which I've generated an sdist and a bunch of wheels for various platforms, all in the dist/ directory. And now, on some particular system, I want to provision a virtual environment by installing the most appropriate version of that package from among the files I have in dist/, while installing all the dependencies (and only the dependencies) from PyPI.
Fortunately I don't need this for a real live package right now, but for fun I went down a rabbit hole trying to figure out how to do it and failed. I would have thought there'd be a procedure for it - it seems like a reasonable enough thing to try to do in a build system.
Yay, robots! I decided to give @packit a try on a few of my @fedora package repositories and I got a nice PR with a package update this morning.
This makes keeping up with changes *so much easier*. 👏

@simon I would hardly call myself an "expert", especially not in a context where you might be getting responses from developers of setuptools and pip and such things, but as someone with a decent amount of experience #packaging #Python projects, the one thing that stuck out to me was the same thing others said, that leaving out the [build-system] section seems like a bad idea. I mean, it's great to do the experiment and show that you *can* omit it, but IMO it falls firmly in the camp of opposite-of-best-practice for "production-quality" projects: even if you trust that all the relevant tools will assume setuptools as a default (which may be the case now but will it always be?), it's still a fairly obscure piece of "magic" for someone reading the build configuration to understand.

@apparebit My parenthetical fact was that running `pipx install tsutsumu` is in fact easier than `curl -o tsutsumu.py https://raw.githubusercontent.com/apparebit/tsutsumu/boss/bundles/bundler.py ` (ahhh I really wish I had Markdown support for that one). Is that really what you wanted to register doubt about the accuracy of? If so, I don't understand your logic 🤷
I'm certainly not disputing that the "traditional way" as listed in the project README does have a lot more shell commands than `curl`, but that "traditional way" is far from the best way to install #Python programs these days. We have much better #packaging tech now than we used to years ago when that method was necessary. Of course people still do use the "traditional way", but I suspect in most cases that's because they don't know that better tools exist.

@hanabel Most people who design product packaging have no idea how people's eyes and hands work after about 55 years of age. You'd think that it would at least deserve a compulsory course in product packaging school.
There, I've finally removed references to setup.py in the documentation for my @novelwriter project. There are too many issues with using it for installs, and it has been deprecated for a long time anyway.
I also updated my build scripts to use the PyPa build tool, which seems to work really well.
Next step is to move other packaging and asset build features out of setup.py, and then delete the file entirely.
