You should move away from calling setup.py and use python -m build, python -m installer together with the appropriate makedependencies instead (see Arch Linux wiki on python packages):

==> Starting build()...
/usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/setuptools/dist.py:472: SetuptoolsDeprecationWarning: Invalid dash-separated options
!!

        ********************************************************************************
        Usage of dash-separated 'description-file' will not be supported in future
        versions. Please use the underscore name 'description_file' instead.

        By 2024-Sep-26, you need to update your project and remove deprecated calls
        or your builds will no longer be supported.

        See https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/userguide/declarative_config.html for details.

@taotieren Thanks for the comment. My build script was based on official author's instruction to keep maximum compatibility because it uses Makefile and run some commands.

I've updated my PKGBUILD to be consistent with Arch Wiki, please check if it works now for you.

Also, because the author doesn't create a typical GitHub releases for a long time, I also added -git version to be always updated: python-exscript-git.

Hi, I'm using devtool tool to compile this package and it gives me the following error, can you please update this package according to the official python package? Thank you very much.
