The question that I have is: how does flit address this issue? Does flit require external dependencies to bootstrap itself?
It does, but those dependencies currently use setuptools as their packaging system rather than flit.
Yup. I actually moved a package which I maintain (zipfile36) back to setuptools packaging specifically so that flit could use it without a dependency loop. The other dependencies for bootstrapping are requests and docutils. There's one other dependency listed, but that can be ignored for bootstrapping. Thomas
