# Previously PTI required "venv" tox ini but it is no longer mentioned.
Yes, we used to require a tox "venv" testenv as a generic environment setup and invocation entrypoint for generating sdist tarballs and wheels to publish on PyPI, but have since switched to invoking the relevant tools directly under the system Python interpreter instead. -- Jeremy Stanley
Ah, this was the thing that jumped to mind when reading the earlier messages, but I wasn't sure if that had all changed. I know we had some release job issues at one point because of "tox -e venv" missing, but if the tooling has been updated now to not need that then I think we are probably safe dropping tox if there really is no other need for it.
