It works by introspecting the arguments passed to setuptools' setup() function, allowing colcon to understand package structure and dependencies without requiring a pyproject.toml or other modern metadata formats.\n\nThe package is designed for developers working in colcon-based build environments\u2014particularly in robotics and systems that rely on colcon for multi-package builds. It depends on colcon-core and setuptools, and is classified as Alpha software. Its primary role is to bridge older Python packaging practices (setup.py-only projects) with colcon's modern build orchestration.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are actively using colcon and have Python packages with setup.py that need to be built as part of a colcon workspace. No, if your projects have already migrated to pyproject.toml or if you are not using colcon. The dormant maintenance status is a caution: verify compatibility with your colcon-core version before relying on it for new projects."},"id":"colcon-python-setup-py","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/colcon-python-setup-py","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/colcon-python-setup-py.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/colcon-python-setup-py/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-10-08","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"colcon-python-setup-py","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Extension for colcon to support Python packages with the metadata in the setup.py file."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":200356,"position":9693,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.2.9"}
