Questions tagged [setuptools]

setuptools is a set of enhancements to Python's distutils which simplify building, distribution and installation of Python packages.

setuptools is a (largely) drop-in replacement for distutils first published in 2004. Its most notable addition over the unmodified distutils tools was the ability to declare dependencies on other packages. It is currently recommended as a more regularly updated alternative to distutils that offers consistent support for more recent packaging standards across a wide range of Python versions.

The recommended pip installer runs all setup.py scripts with setuptools, even if the script itself only imports distutils.
