## Setuptools Plugin

### Installation

This plugin is intended only to be installed as a build requirement. Avoid installing it except temporarily for a build that requires it. If it is installed to a shared/system environment, it will be activated for all Setuptools builds and emit a warning. If the target ecosystem expects build artifacts to be installed to a shared environment, the warning can be disabled by setting `COHERENT_LICENSED_UNUSED_ACTION=ignore`.
