But how do they differ from the user’s POV? My understanding was that distutils* and setuptools provide the ‘python setup.py’ interface, with the same arguments and everything, no? > I'm not sure that Python chose one of these as the "official" build > system. Maybe we should use names such as > "python-setuptools-build-system". WDYT ? If the command-line interface is different, then yes. But if they have the same command-line interface, then it doesn’t make sense to distinguish among them, I think. Thanks, Ludo’.
