Bug#1121121: python-pip: causes other packages to FTBFS

Control: reassign -1 src:libselinux

Hi Luke (2025.11.21_12:07:21_+0000)

I'm afraid this is because you are using a deprecated mode of pip.

I don't think pip is particularly suited to the use that libselinux has 
for it. It's meant as an end-user package installer, not a build tool.
These days there is a separate build tool, "build" that we use for our 
Python packaging. My recommendation would be to use that (via pybuild) 
wherever possible.

If you look at your last build, you'll see:
>   DEPRECATION: Building 'selinux' using the legacy setup.py 
>   bdist_wheel mechanism, which will be removed in a future version. 
>   pip 25.3 will enforce this behaviour change. A possible replacement 
>   is to use the standardized build interface by setting the 
>   `--use-pep517` option, (possibly combined with 
>   `--no-build-isolation`), or adding a `pyproject.toml` file to the 
>   source tree of 'selinux'. Discussion can be found at 
>   https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/6334

That's the deprecation that was enacted now.

If you want to continue to use pip, you can explicitly specify
--use-pep517. You'll need --no-build-isolation too, to be able to do 
this without downloading code from the Internet.

But... as I said, this isn't the recommended path.
