setuptools 72.2.0 breaks colcon-python-setup-py

[lianghongzhuo]

similar to #56
but this time, setuptools removes: setuptools.extern.packaging
and I get error: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'setuptools.extern.packaging'

I fixed it by running: pip install setuptools=70.1.1

[lianghongzhuo]

any updates?

Just remove 'setuptools.extern.' on line 251, if the version of your colcon-python-setup-py is 0.2.7. See https://github.com/colcon/colcon-python-setup-py/pull/44/files for more details. @lianghongzhuo
