setup.py deprecation -- pyproject.toml, license, codecs #151
Description
I think setup.py can be deprecated now that we've dropped old python versions. We might have needed it for C module builds but we're probably not going to do that, either, so pyproject.toml can be used.
Also take note of the following license classifier warning,
$ python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel --universal
/home/jq/.pyenv/versions/3.13.6/lib/python3.13/site-packages/setuptools/dist.py:759: SetuptoolsDeprecationWarning: License classifiers are deprecated.

also "codecs" module is used in setup.py, but that was for legacy python versions now unsupported.
