|
The entire ``distutils`` package has been deprecated and will be
|
|
removed in Python 3.12. This documentation is retained as a
|
|
reference only, and will be removed with the package. See the
|
|
:ref:`What's New <distutils-deprecated>` entry for more information.

This guide only covers the basic tools for building and distributing
|
|
extensions that are provided as part of this version of Python. Third party
|
|
tools offer easier to use and more secure alternatives. Refer to the `quick
|
|
recommendations section <https://packaging.python.org/guides/tool-recommendations/>`__
|
|
in the Python Packaging User Guide for more information.

This document describes the Python Distribution Utilities ("Distutils") from
|
|
the module developer's point of view, describing the underlying capabilities
|
|
that ``setuptools`` builds on to allow Python developers to make Python modules
|
|
and extensions readily available to a wider audience.
