remove no-setuptools config option
it is currently mildly inconsistent that poetry defaults to installing setuptools in newly created environments, but then removing it at poetry install --sync
the direction of travel is that setuptools should be named as an explicit dependency if required, let's go there
- remove the config option
- don't install setuptools
maybe one for #9136 if that's going to be a thing, though personally I would not be too frightened of releasing this anyway, so long as it gets a suitable mention in the changelog
Given that poetry install --sync immediately removes setuptools from any Poetry-created venv, this seems fine to merge before Poetry v2? And it would be in alignment with:
- https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/101039
- https://github.com/pypa/virtualenv/issues/2487
- https://github.com/pypa/get-pip/pull/218
- https://github.com/docker-library/python/pull/954
- https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/pull/1613
