H A D | setup.py | 2ddaeb7b Mon Feb 07 15:30:39 CST 2022 John Snow <jsnow@redhat.com> Python: discourage direct setup.py install
When invoking setup.py directly, the default behavior for 'install' is to run the bdist_egg installation hook, which is ... actually deprecated by setuptools. It doesn't seem to work quite right anymore.
By contrast, 'pip install' will invoke the bdist_wheel hook instead. This leads to differences in behavior for the two approaches. I advocate using pip in the documentation in this directory, but the 'setup.py' which has been used for quite a long time in the Python world may deceptively appear to work at first glance.
Add an error message that will save a bit of time and frustration that points the user towards using the supported installation invocation.
