The pre-commit.ci autoupdate in #175 fails in the ruff hook with:

EXE001 Shebang is present but file is not executable
 --> setup.py:1:1
1 | #!/usr/bin/env python

setup.py is not an executable file and is not run directly, so the shebang line is not needed. This removes it, and the check no longer applies to it. It is the only change.

I could not reproduce the error locally: ruff skips this rule when it runs under WSL, which is what I use. The failing log is the one from the Format job of #175 (ruff-pre-commit v0.17.1). With the older pinned ruff (0.15.16) the file passes before and after.

Seems fine, but why are we using setuptools here, maybe we could followup and move to something else?

Thanks. I don't see a reason to keep it, it is just the old layout (setup.cfg + setup.py + setuptools_scm). I can follow up with a separate PR that moves it to pyproject.toml with hatchling and hatch-vcs like the other Scikit-HEP packages, if you want that. Happy to leave this one as it is so the pre-commit.ci PR can go through.
