Setup.py is more or less deprecated and should be replaced by alternatives like pyproject.toml or poetry.  This requires installing a few dependencies:

```bash
pip install build twine
```

| setup.py command       | alternative command   |
| ---------------------- | --------------------- |
| `setup.py sdist`       | `python -m build`     |
| `setup.py bdist_wheel` | `python -m build`     |
| `setup.py test`        | `python -m unittest`  |
| `setup.py install`     | `pip install .`       |
| `setup.py develop`     | `pip install -e .`    |
| `setup.py upload`      | `twine upload`        |
| `setup.py check`       | `twine check`         |
