Root Cause

setup.py uses deprecated parameter names like 'description' instead of 'description', or other outdated setuptools APIs.

generic

中文

setup.py使用了已弃用的参数名，如'description'而不是'description'，或其他过时的setuptools API。

Workarounds

  1. 95% success 
    Update setup.py to use underscore-separated parameters: `description='...'`.
  2. 90% success 
    Use setup.cfg with proper keys: `[metadata] description = ...`.
  3. 70% success 
    Run `python -m pip install --upgrade setuptools` and then fix any remaining warnings.

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 40% fail

    Future setuptools versions will break; the warning is a sign of impending failure.

  2. 50% fail

    This may cause conflicts or warnings; better to migrate fully.

  3. 80% fail

    This is the opposite direction; dash-separated is being deprecated.
