Although this change is not expected to break any use cases, it will likely affect tool chains that are monkey-patching distutils or relying on Setuptools' own monkey-patching of distutils. +* #2143: Setuptools adopts distutils from the Python 3.9 standard library and no longer depends on distutils in the standard library.

This behavior happens by default when using ``pip install`` or ``pep517.build``. Workflows that rely on ``setup.py (anything)`` will need to first ensure setuptools is imported. One way to achieve this behavior without modifying code is to invoke Python thus: ``python -c "import setuptools; exec(open('setup.py').read())" (anything)``. v47.3.2 |
