Eynollah currently relies on https://github.com/PyImageSearch/imutils:

imutils >= 0.5.3

However, this still uses distutils and setup.py, does not track its dependencies, and does not install for me:

pip install imutils
Looking in indexes: https://pypi.org/simple, https://pypi.ngc.nvidia.com
Collecting imutils
  Downloading imutils-0.5.4.tar.gz (17 kB)
  Preparing metadata (setup.py) ... error
  error: subprocess-exited-with-error
  
  × python setup.py egg_info did not run successfully.
  │ exit code: 1
  ╰─> [1 lines of output]
      ERROR: Can not execute `setup.py` since setuptools is not available in the build environment.
      [end of output]
  
  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
error: metadata-generation-failed

× Encountered error while generating package metadata.
╰─> See above for output.

note: This is an issue with the package mentioned above, not pip.
hint: See above for details.

(The same happens with --no-build-isolation.)

(Of course, I do have an up-to-date setuptools, wheel, and pip, so the error message itself is also broken. The point is that this library cannot be installed out of the box anymore.)

There have even been two PRs – this one and that one trying to fix these issues, but it has been closed by the author because imutils seems to be entirely unmaintained.

So I think this dependency should be removed.
