Build problem with setuptools 75.6.0

[thebaptiste]

Expected behaviour

I'm building with setuptools 75.6.0 on Python 3.12 with pip 24.2. I expect it works !

Actual behaviour

I have several problems when I build :

• first a warning (just for the record) :

     /home/baptiste/mfext/build/opt/python3_scientific/lib/python3.12/site-packages/skbuild/command/test.py:3: SetuptoolsDeprecationWarning: The test command is disabled and references to it are deprecated.

              ********************************************************************************
              Please remove any references to `setuptools.command.test` in all supported versions of the affected package.

              This deprecation is overdue, please update your project and remove deprecated
              calls to avoid build errors in the future.

              Ensure that any custom bdist_wheel implementation is a subclass of

              By 2025-Oct-15, you need to update your project and remove deprecated calls
              or your builds will no longer be supported.

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
  ERROR: Failed building wheel for opencv-contrib-python-headless

I had no problem with setuptools 74.1.3. So it's probably linked to last changes in setuptools 75

Steps to reproduce

• operating system : rockylinux 8
• architecture : x86-64
• opencv-python version : 4.10.0.84

Issue submission checklist

• This is not a generic OpenCV usage question (looking for help for coding, other usage questions, homework etc.)
• I have read the README of this repository and understand that this repository provides only an automated build toolchain for OpenCV Python packages (there is no actual OpenCV code here)
• The issue is related to the build scripts in this repository, to the pre-built binaries or is a feature request (such as "please enable this additional dependency")
• I'm using the latest version of opencv-python

[thebaptiste]

I'm using wheel 0.41.3 and pip 24.2. I will try to upgrade them and let you know...

[thebaptiste]

I made a few tests :

• there was no problem with setuptools 75.0.0 and setuptools 75.1.0
• the problem starts with setuptools 75.2.0. The root cause seems to be the "workaround" added in this release (take a look at the comments on this PR)
• upgrading to wheel 0.45.1 fix the problem (see this PR)
• nevertheless there is probably something to do in opencv in order to avoid to use deprecated stuff
