no pyproject.toml, pip install at risk of being blocked

[emilezwiggelaar]

When installing this library using Python v3.13.3, pip v25.1.1 and setuptools v80.9.0 I get this warning:

DEPRECATION: Building 'robotframework-soaplibrary' 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 'robotframework-soaplibrary'. Discussion can be found at https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/6334

Command used: pip install -U --force-reinstall --no-cache robotframework-soaplibrary

This is set to become a problem real soon, can anything be done?

Hello @emilezwiggelaar I have python 3.12.8 and pip 25.2 but I can´t reproduce this error, anyway I follow the guide in the link that you sent.

Can you install this version 1.4 for test pypi and tell me if solved the issue?

pip install -i https://test.pypi.org/simple/ robotframework-soaplibrary2==1.4

Hello @samuelpcabral

This is the result of that command:

(btw setuptools 80.9.0 is already on my system)

Hi @emilezwiggelaar thanks for the test...

I still can´t reproduce the error.. I try in another computer and nothing... but I made another test package:

pip install -i https://test.pypi.org/simple/ --extra-index-url https://pypi.org/simple/ robotframework-soaplibrary2==1.4.3

If work please let me know, and you can uninstall this test package after, using this command: pip uninstall robotframework-soaplibrary2
