Hi! This is the staged-recipes linter and your PR looks excellent! 🚀

[conda-forge-admin]

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 (recipes/pretab/meta.yaml) and found it was in an excellent condition.

I do have some suggestions for making it better though...

For recipes/pretab/meta.yaml:

• ℹ️ No valid build backend found for Python recipe for package pretab using pip. Python recipes using pip need to explicitly specify a build backend in the host section. If your recipe has built with only pip in the host section in the past, you likely should add setuptools to the host section of your recipe.

The windows build fails with:

  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "<string>", line 2, in <module>
    File "<pip-setuptools-caller>", line 34, in <module>
    File "D:\bld\pretab_1744696822497\work\setup.py", line 36, in <module>
      LONG_DESCRIPTION = f.read()
    File "D:\bld\pretab_1744696822497\_h_env\lib\encodings\cp1252.py", line 23, in decode
      return codecs.charmap_decode(input,self.errors,decoding_table)[0]
  UnicodeDecodeError: 'charmap' codec can't decode byte 0x9d in position 1226: character maps to <undefined>
  error: subprocess-exited-with-error

Still I would prefer this package to remain noarch.
