[Slackbuilds-users] [python3-setuptools] A Question about a SlackBuild.

[Tim Dickson]

have you tried just sed'ing the version in the toml line to the version 
that ships with slackware 15.0  ?
quite often that works, and the only reason the requirement changed was 
that the system it was developed on had a newer setuptools, not that it 
actually used any new features.
