Hi,

Does setuptools make any API stability guarantees i.e. should all setup.py files that work with setuptools version X also work with setuptools version Y where  Y > X?

I'm asking because the App Engine Python 3.7 runtime keeps it's version of setuptools up-to-date and I'm wondering if that is problematic due to API compatibility i.e. that package installation might fail due to an incompatibility introduced in setuptools.

Cheers,
Brian
