Quoting Paul Ganssle, setuptools maintainer:
* The setuptools project has stopped maintaining all direct
invocations of setup.py years ago, and distutils is deprecated.
There are undoubtedly many ways that your setup.py-based system is
broken today, even if it's not failing loudly or obviously.
* Direct invocations of setup.py cannot bootstrap their own
dependencies, and so some CLI is necessary for dependency
management.
* The setuptools project no longer wants to provide any public CLI,
and will be actively removing the existing interface (though the
time scale for this is long).
* PEP 517, 518 and other standards-based packaging are the future of
the Python ecosystem and a lot of progress has been made on making
this upgrade seamless.
As described in the recommendations in the end of the article: `python3
setup.py sdist` should be replaced by `python3 -m build --sdist`.
