Hello, Pythons setuptools are deprecating the "python setup.py test" command: https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/1684 As you may know, "python setup.py test" is what python-build-system does during the 'check' phase. I'm not sure what we should do about it, and there does not seem to be an established "community consensus" yet. I suppose many packages will be migrating to Pytest and/or Tox? Perhaps we could check package inputs and try to guess the correct test command? Something to keep in mind for future python-build-system improvements... PS: Apparently "python setup.py install" is going away too: https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/1684#issuecomment-508302910
