File setup.py of Package failed_fail2ban

#!/usr/bin/env python3
# Minimal, resilient setup.py for building in environments that may lack
# setuptools and distutils (e.g. minimal chroots). This script will:
# - Prefer using setuptools.setup if available.
# - Fall back to distutils.core.setup if available.
# - If neither is available, implement a minimal "build" action that just
#   byte-compiles the package sources so that "python3 setup.py build"
#   succeeds for RPM builds.
#
# This is intentionally minimal to avoid pulling in heavy build-time deps.
