Guide/Troubleshooting for vendor/build?

Inizia dalla sezione sullo sviluppo di README e confrontala con i comandi in setup.py e Makefile. Verifica i percorsi segnalati pip install -e .[test] e make, quindi documenta i passaggi di build necessari, i sottomoduli vendor ricorsivi e il requisito setuptools. Il lavoro è completato quando un nuovo collaboratore può seguire la configurazione dell'ambiente di sviluppo senza incontrare gli errori segnalati.

After digging through the source for a while and trying to see if httptools might meet my needs I decided it was time to add a test case to tests/test_parser.py

I was attempting to follow the Development instructions https://github.com/MagicStack/httptools?tab=readme-ov-file#development and got an error during pip install -e .[test].

      httptools/parser/parser.c:1260:10: fatal error: llhttp.h: No such file or directory
       1260 | #include "llhttp.h"
            |          ^~~~~~~~~~
      compilation terminated.

Ubuntu doesn't have a node-llhttp-dev package and node-llhttp doesn't help; that's about where my C build knowledge ends sadly.

I was so confused until I found the vendor directory with some anemic submodules; apparently the --recursive in the git clone step is kind of important 😉 In my case the alternative solution was git submodule update --init after the fact; whoops!

Then I remembered how desperately modern python's are trying to get rid of setuptools:

(.venv) clayg@ThinkStation:~/Workspace/scratch/httptools$ make
python3 setup.py build_ext --inplace
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/mnt/c/Users/cgerrard/Workspace/scratch/httptools/setup.py", line 10, in <module>
    from setuptools import setup, Extension
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'setuptools'
make: *** [Makefile:9: compile] Error 1

... but I eventually got to write my test (surprise: llhttp does NOT allow for non-ascii bytes in header names or values: https://gist.github.com/clayg/174d8e427c4263230b3cdf6591f3365f)

Anyway; would you find it helpful to include some expanded notes/guide/troubleshooting on the build requirements/process (or how to update the vendored submodules?) added to the existing README development section or would it be better to keep that as simple as possible and make a new/different file?
