If anyone is still wondering whether #setuptools is a good #PEP517 build system, let me point out that right now it vendors… (checks notes) 12 packages, including two different versions of more-itertools.
Of these packages, 5 use setuptools and 1 uses hatchling. Ironically, it's the packages maintained by setuptools upstream that use the former and therefore introduce cyclic dependencies. Third parties seem to be more concerned that their packages are used by setuptools and therefore should use minimal build systems to avoid the cyclic dependency problem.
