pbr broke with removal of sys_executable and ScriptsWriter names #4976
Description
setuptools version
80.3.0
Python version
any
OS
any
Additional environment information
No response
Description
setuptools release 80.3.0 broke pbr. The pbr backend is commonly used, e.g. the entire OpenStack project is powered by pbr. Several years ago, setuptools 12.0 introduced the same regression.
Expected behavior
A new release of setuptools should never break existing and commonly used packages and backends.
How to Reproduce
pip wheel --no-cache --no-deps --no-binary :all: stevedore
