## Summary Remove the legacy `ez_setup.py` bootstrap script to fix build failures with setuptools >= 82. - **Delete `ez_setup.py`**: This 249-line script was a setuptools bootstrapper from circa 2013 that attempted to download setuptools 0.9.6 if not present. It imported `pkg_resources`, which was [removed in setuptools v82](https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/history.html#v82-0-0) (2026-02-08), causing `ModuleNotFoundError` during builds. - **Remove `ez_setup.py` from `MANIFEST.in`**: Stop including the deleted file in source distributions. The script was already dead code — `setup.py` does not import or call it. The project's `pyproject.toml` (added in CASSPYTHON-3) declares `setuptools` as a build dependency, so any PEP 517-compliant build frontend (pip, uv, build) installs setuptools automatically, making `ez_setup.py` unnecessary. ### Build failure before this change ``` $ uv pip install cassandra-driver × Failed to build `cassandra-driver==3.29.3` Traceback (most recent call last): File ".../ez_setup.py", line 115, in use_setuptools import pkg_resources ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pkg_resources' ``` ## Test plan - [x] `uv pip install -e .` succeeds and compiles all C/Cython extensions - [x] `python -c 'import cassandra; print(cassandra.__version__)'` prints `3.30.0` Generated-by: Claude Opus 4.6 -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
