Setuptools deprecated the setup.py install command four years ago.
By October 31st 👻, the command python setup.py install will stop working. At least for any version of setuptools>=80.1.0.
This means that users won't be able to run scripts/install_third_party_dependencies.sh anymore.
Other scripts/instructions may be affected as well.
To solve this, it would be best if openfold would use modern python packaging tools (see the packaging.python.org guide). This would make openfold installable with pip install ., and make it easier to put openfold on PyPI.
