As far as I've seen, we don't depend on setuptools package in any way (is it even needed when we're using pypoetry?)

I do remember adding it manually because something broke after we moved from pipenv. Will take a look at the git history and see.

Hey @ahmubashshir I just went through #257. Turns out we need setuptools
because babelfish
(which itself is a dep of guessit
) wants pkg_resources
that hasn't been shipped with Python for a long time. Once Diaoul/babelfish#46 is fixed, we can remove setuptools
from our deps.

Diaoul/babelfish#46 got the fix in Diaoul/babelfish@0.6.1
