It basically is, we just got by not listing it in the past because venv et al preinstalled it for us. In those cases it theoretically wouldn\u0027t get reinstalled/upgraded automatically anyway so should just be a no-op.","commit_id":"6dcd0bc7275b444ced68127342c687970868c98d"},{"author":{"_account_id":4146,"name":"Clark Boylan","email":"cboylan@sapwetik.org","username":"cboylan"},"change_message_id":"a3749e4b7060acca00894a0daea56bfcf985ee08","unresolved":false,"context_lines":[{"line_number":1,"context_line":"setuptools;python_version\u003e\u003d\u00273.12\u0027"}],"source_content_type":"text/plain","patch_set":19,"id":"2229da17_41811fb2","line":1,"in_reply_to":"f9d53c7e_a84d8a33","updated":"2025-01-03 21:02:58.000000000","message":"The primary reason was to avoid a behavior change for older versions of python.
