IMHO, we do nót need to do anything right now as py-setuptools58 is not used by anything.setuptools needs to build itself under PEP-517, which I will handle as part of the next update when we are ready. We cannot build it the current way as we have it in the tree (using distutils as a hack) when we finally land Python 3.12 as distutils no longer exists there. pyproject-hooks needs to work in order to build setuptools itself under PEP-517.It means we do not need to revert py-pyproject_hooks.Furthermore, I don't think current PY_SETUPTOOLS and devel/py-setuptools58 are needed in our ports tree. Since we could build almost every python port with pep517 (with minor fixes for the case in its name), we should always use devel/py-setuptools with correct version requirement rather than PY_SETUPTOOLS. In my case, there are 1,310 ports with USE_PYTHON=pep517 and only 3 ports with USE_PYTHON=distutils which are intentional for simplicity.We should encourage people to convert their ports to pep517 build.And we should preserve PY_SETUPTOOLS for conditional dependency on py-setuptools for Python 3.12+.
As long as there are any ports with USE_PYTHON=distutils, setuptools58 has to exist as the distutils method is explicitly not supported past this version, even if it works by accident.
