Avoid setuptools management

[jakirkham]

As we manage packages through conda (not setuptools/pip), we need to side-step package management through other means. This is the recommended way ( see "Creating System Packages" ) to do this.

Hi! This is the friendly automated conda-forge-linting service.

I just wanted to let you know that I linted all conda-recipes in your PR (recipe) and found it was in an excellent condition.

Thanks @frol.

Thank you for spotting this! I thought I had fixed this thing in all contributed feedstocks.

No worries. It's too easy to forget this or get it wrong. So, I started working on a package that would do this automatically. See this PR ( conda-forge/staged-recipes#642 ) for details.

Basically, it works on Mac and Linux, but some new features from conda/conda-build are required for it to work on Windows. The required Windows features exist in conda version 4.1.0 and conda-build 1.21.0. So, once we unpin conda-build. We should be able to explore this alternative.
