Public bug reported: See <https://gsnedders.github.io/python-marker-test/results.html> for a summary of what versions of setuptools support what environment markers.
Wily shipped with 18.4 and that Xenial's 20.7.0 doesn't support "python_implementation" unlike 18.4, although later releases of setuptools fixed this backwards incompatible change. It would be nice, for the sake of compatibility, if the Ubuntu package could patch this backwards incompatible change. packaging fixed this upstream with the ALIASES in <https://github.com/pypa/packaging/blob/16.7/packaging/markers.py#L64>, for reference. An easy test for this is pkg_resources.evaluate_marker("python_implementation == 'CPython'") — this should not throw an exception (and should return True on CPython, but False otherwise). ** Affects: python-setuptools (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to python-setuptools in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1589607 Title: Backwards incompatible breakage in marker parsing Status in python-setuptools package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: See <https://gsnedders.github.io/python-marker-test/results.html> for a summary of what versions of setuptools support what environment markers.
