This is
-- a caller that pip uses to run setup.py - It imports setuptools before invoking setup.py, to enable projects that directly
import from
distutils.coreto work with newer packaging standards.- It provides a clear error message when setuptools is not installed.
- It sets

- It generates a shim setup.py, for handling setup.cfg-only projects.
