Yes, setup.py should die. Flit is one example, and you can understand
it not by copy/pasting, but by spending half an hour reading its
complete source code.
In other words, no one should read the docs because that's a waste of
time? Because a lot of time has been poured into the packaging docs
and if they're not sufficient, then instead of improving them, people
should write undocumented tools that force people to read the source?
I'm not sure how that's better than what we already have.
You're attacking a strawman. Flit does have documentation. What Daniel
was trying to say is that flit is small enough to understand by just
reading the source code.
