_vendor directory here contains embedded third party libraries which are meant for internal use by setuptools only, likely because it requires exact versions of those libraries. There's no guarantee that those embedded libraries will even be there for newer setuptools versions. It's really not a good idea to use them by anything else other than setuptools. Vendoring third party code is not unusual, another well known project that does this is python-requests. -- Audrius Kažukauskas
