Because Distutils implements only ‘scripts’, and that's not capable
enough for what people need so Setuptools implements entry points.

In other words: One of them is in the standard library and does
something; the other is third-party and can do more.

That answers why there are two. But maybe you wanted to ask some
underlying question?
