Description

Hi,

I'm currently working on swapping out scikit-build (classic)'s internals for scikit-build-core, and I have AI running lots of downstream projects and looking for regressions. It found that this project currently uses scikit-build internals. I've been able to patch some of them back in as shims, but opencv-python fiddles with stuff like skbuild.setuptools_wrap._classify_installed_files that's simply not there anymore.

See https://github.com/scikit-build/scikit-build/pull/1185. I can try to propose something here if you'd like. The best thing would be to use scikit-build-core without setuptools directly.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the scikit-build (classic) to scikit-build-core migration described in scikit-build/scikit-build#1185. Search this project for uses of skbuild.setuptools_wrap._classify_installed_files and other scikit-build internals, then check downstream projects for regressions. Done means the package uses scikit-build-core without setuptools directly and those downstream builds continue to work.
