Xisco Fauli committed a patch related to this issue. It has been pushed to "master": https://git.libreoffice.org/core/commit/f9cd7e2801e7bbc620521f2ce3ee4be4c66cdc21 tdf#161947: test setuptools is imported on mac It will be available in 25.2.0. The patch should be included in the daily builds available at https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/ in the next 24-48 hours. More information about daily builds can be found at: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Testing_Daily_Builds Affected users are encouraged to test the fix and report feedback.
Macosx does bundle setuptools and that's because https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/external/python3/ExternalProject_python3.mk?r=875a1bf2#127 if $(if $(filter MACOSX,$(OS)) is removed, then setuptools exists in workdir/UnpackedTarball/python3/python-inst/python-inst/lib/python3.10/site-packages/setuptools
Sounds like we do have to. Setting to new, but can't remember if that's been brought up at ESC? I guess bundling a new external module is important enough to notify others?
