Compatibility with older setuptools

[yan12125]

aiobotocore now requires setuptools>=72.2.0 to build: 0e6dd62. However, on Arch Linux the python-setuptools package is stuck at an old version due to its complexity. I tried removing the version constraint >=72.2.0, and the built package seems fine. Is it really necessary? Thanks.

Thank you for reporting. The version constraint is not arbitrary, but could potentially be relaxed. What version of setuptools would be available in your context? I could then do some testing.

Thank you for considering lowering the bound. As of writing, Arch Linux comes with setuptools 69.5.1

[jakob-keller]

I checked with setuptools 69.5.1 and the resulting distribution packages are nearly identical and fully functional. I will perform additional tests and then try to establish a less strict, yet safe constraint.

#1194 is addressing the issue. Do you need a new release on PyPI or is this sufficient?

Thank you! I don't need a new release on PyPI. I can cherry-pick the change in python-aiobotocore package for Arch Linux .
