The problem
There is no such module. Checked against setuptools 84.0.0:
The legacy shim was never called
setuptools.backendsat any version, so this has never worked. The package could not be built or installed at all:uv buildandpip install .both fail on it. That is also how it surfaced —uv runinside the project directory installs the project first, and fell over before running anything.After
Scope
One line. Nothing else depended on it working: the Space image installs
requirements.txtand thenCOPYs the tree, so it never pip-installed the package and never hit this. Kept separate from #1 for that reason — that PR is about what the image installs and which port it declares, this is about whether the package can be built at all.
