PEP 639 support was added in setuptools 77 (2025-03-19):
This deprecates the
project.license
table in favor of a standardized SPDX license string, as well as the temporary setuptools-specifictools.setuptools.license-files
table in favor ofproject.license-files
.tools.setuptools.license-files
andproject.license-files
can't be set at the same time.Considering that setuptools 77 was only released in March, we should wait a bit more before switching the metadata format, as recent enough setuptools versions might not be packaged yet on all Linux distros where we have recent Streamlink releases packaged.
