Just FTR: Having a setup.py to build the project is not deprecated (indeed, it's necessary when handling non-Python code e.g. C extensions in a Setuptools project); nor is it a deprecated practice to omit pyproject.toml (as much as I personally would like it to be).

What is deprecated is typing commands like setup.py install at the command line as a developer; and more recently, Pip has deprecated making editable installs from the repository for such projects (again, a developer feature).
