Remove setuptools workaround

[maresb]

Do not merge...

until aesara-devs/aesara#1100 and conda-forge/conda-forge-repodata-patches-feedstock#307 are also merged.

I seem to have recent acquired the habit of reverting your changes. 😆

That's okay 😅 Thanks for opening the PR - I already forgot about this...

By the way, today I realized that PyMC is still on an "outdated" Aesara version and the import fixes have not yet arrived for our main branch..

[maresb]

Hmm, am I missing something, or are you looking at an old commit?

Aesara is at 2.7.9:

PyMC is on Aesara 2.7.9:

The upstream fix aesara-devs/aesara#1050 was merged in Aesara v2.7.8

So it seems to me like PyMC is fine, no?

[maresb]

Ah... do you mean that mcbackend is on an old pymc version which, when installed with PyPI would not incorporate conda-forge/conda-forge-repodata-patches-feedstock#307, and thus still be vulnerable to the issue?

Indeed one should probably wait until both PyMC and Aesara have new releases before merging this.

[michaelosthege]

You're right, I'm mixing up two different things here.
I will merge this PR because the setuptools things is indeed fixed.

I was concerned about the import mess, which I just confirmed is still happening with Aesara 2.7.9 👇

[maresb]

Oh no!!! 😞

Which commands did you use to install?

[maresb]

Thanks for the merge at PyMC.

Does the following logic seem correct?

In the screenshot above, you're running pymc 4.1.4, but since it didn't exist on conda-forge (and won't exist until the CDN updates), it couldn't have been installed from the pymc CF package, so it's not surprising that g++ is broken.

Nevermind, I created several envs with Python 3.9, 3.10 and PyMC 4.1.2, 4.1.3 and 4.1.4 and none of the new environments had the issue.

mamba create -n pmtest412 -c conda-forge "python==3.9" "pymc==4.1.2"

After running mamba install -c conda-forge "pymc==4.1.4" in the environment that produced the screenshot above, also there the problems magicly went away.

😅 Great!!!
