Hello,
I have question to cygclass python-wheel. It seems that setup.py is
being omited in some python packages (here I faced it in the
python-fasteners) and as described here:
https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/setuptools.html , chapter
"setup.cfg-only projects"

Currently the cyglass requires the setup.py being present, otherwise it
throws error "No Python Distutils module detected"
IMHO would be nice if the cygclass handle this case. Or should I create
a patch that inserts empty setup.py module instead?
Yeah, it seems this is definitely something that needs updating in
cygport, so thanks for pointing that out.
It's fairly straightforward to drop the check at [1], or perhaps it's
more appropriate to change it to check for either setup.py or setup.cfg?
But then we want to run 'python -msetuptools.launch setup.py
bdist_wheel' to build the wheel.
In a very quick bit of research, it' seems the modern equivalent would
be something like 'python -m build --wheel', but we don't seem to have a
python-build package?
I'm not very familiar with the evolving state of python packaging, so I
think I may need a bit of help getting this right!
