[blex-max]

        ********************************************************************************
        Please avoid running ``setup.py`` and ``develop``.
        Instead, use standards-based tools like pip or uv.

        By 2025-Oct-31, you need to update your project and remove deprecated calls
        or your builds will no longer be supported.

        See https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/917 for details.
        ********************************************************************************

And relatedly

        ********************************************************************************
        Usage of dash-separated 'description-file' will not be supported in future
        versions. Please use the underscore name 'description_file' instead.
        (Affected: parabam).

        By 2026-Mar-03, you need to update your project and remove deprecated calls
        or your builds will no longer be supported.

        See https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/userguide/declarative_config.html for details.
        ********************************************************************************

If parabam remains of relevance we should probably move to a more modern install

@Smeds This is I think something that would need to be addressed before a new release
