I've just found an error in the Fedora 40 build - https://github.com/python-pillow/docker-images/actions/runs/8866687018/job/24344407456#step:7:10

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Pillow/setup.py", line 19, in
from setuptools import Extension, setup
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'setuptools'
make: *** [Makefile:5: clean] Error 1

Regarding https://blog.ganssle.io/articles/2021/10/setup-py-deprecated.html, can we replace invoking setup.py directly with something else?

The direct invocation of setup.py doesn't actually come from this repository, it comes from the Pillow repository.

I've created python-pillow/Pillow#8027 to remove it.

Thanks for pointing that out. Rerunning the job now that the PR has been merged, the error is no longer present - https://github.com/python-pillow/docker-images/actions/runs/8868199625/job/24359444997#step:7:9
