Tox missing setup.py error

Hmm, weird I cannot reproduce this issue. Here tox -e init works just fine. Can you try again?

[djoreilly]

Ran git pull and get the exact same. But if you can't reproduce then it must be my system and we can close this. Also ran zypper up on my 15.3.
The answers on SO must be outdated as it seems you don't need a setup.py nor skipsdist = True

This is most likely due to a very old version of pip or tox. @djoreilly Is this still an issue?

Don't have the env anymore to test. The tox version was 2.9.1 (in the stacktrace) which is quite old. Seems I was using the tox from Leap 15.4 python-tox, instead of from pip. Should close this issue.
