You shouldn't invoke setup.py directly

I used to recommend articles with titles like "modern Python package structure and tooling" to graduates. I stopped because the tools (poetry, pipenv etc) were changing so much. I try to fit as much of our workflows into hand made templates and PyCharm now.

There was a post here a while ago about packaging or virtual environments. Within a few minutes, there were quite a few responses about better ways to do it.

Unfortunately, each response had a different recommendation. I wish I could find that thread again.

We have been talking about how to support customers who want to use python. At least for me it isn't very appealing, seems like it could take a lot of attention to keep up with what's expected.
