Removing wheel and setuptools as Dependencies for pip
Starting with Python 3.13, pip will no longer have setuptools and wheel as dependencies
by default. While this default made sense at the time conda-forge was started (over 8 years ago!),
with the advent of Python packaging build backends (e.g., flit, poetry, hatchling, etc.),
this default is no longer correct. Instead, you will need to specify wheel and/or setuptools explicitly in the host
section of your recipe if you need them. At first, pip for versions of Python before 3.13 will be unaffected.
However, after the completion of the Python 3.13 migration, we will remove these dependencies from pip for all
versions of Python. Follow GitHub issue #2252
for more information and updates.
