v62.3.1

Misc ^^^^

• #3320: Fixed typo which causes namespace_packages to raise an error instead of warning.

v62.3.0

Deprecations ^^^^^^^^^^^^

• #3262: Formally added deprecation messages for namespace_packages. The methodology that uses pkg_resources and namespace_packages for creating namespaces was already discouraged by the :doc:setuptools docs </userguide/package_discovery> and the :doc:Python Packaging User Guide <PyPUG:guides/packaging-namespace-packages>, therefore this change just make the deprecation more official. Users can consider migrating to native/implicit namespaces (as introduced in :pep:420).

• #3308: Relying on include_package_data to ensure sub-packages are automatically added to the build wheel distribution (as "data") is now considered a deprecated practice.

  This behaviour was controversial and caused inconsistencies (#3260).

  Instead, projects are encouraged to properly configure packages or use discovery tools. General information can be found in :doc:userguide/package_discovery.

Changes ^^^^^^^

• #1806: Allowed recursive globs (**) in package_data. -- by :user:nullableVoidPtr
• #3206: Fixed behaviour when both install_requires (in setup.py) and dependencies (in pyproject.toml) are specified. The configuration in pyproject.toml will take precedence over setup.py (in accordance with PEP 621). A warning was added to inform users.

Documentation changes ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

• #3307: Added introduction to references/keywords Added deprecation tags to test kwargs Moved userguide/keywords to deprecated section Clarified in deprecated doc what keywords came from distutils and which were added or changed by setuptools
