pypa/setuptools #4461 · read the original issue

### What's the problem this feature will solve?



Current version of setuptools requires ctypes to run on windows.



### Describe the solution you'd like



The hard dependency of ctypes came from platformdirs.

Since platformdirs released a new version including the required change, upgrading platformdirs to 4.2.2 will fix the issue.



### Alternative Solutions



_No response_



### Additional context



Hi, I am a developer of RustPython, which does not support ctypes yet. This fix will allow RustPython to access most of packages packaged with setuptools on PyPI.
