注解: This document is being retained solely until the "setuptools"
  documentation at
  https://setuptools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/setuptools.html
  independently covers all of the relevant information currently
  included here.

注解: 本指南仅介绍构建和分发扩展的基本工具，这些扩展是作为此Python版
  本的一 部分提供的。 第三方工具提供更易于使用和更安全的替代方案。有关
  详细信 息，请参阅 Python 打包用户指南中的 快速推荐部分 。

This document describes the Python Distribution Utilities
("Distutils") from the module developer's point of view, describing
the underlying capabilities that "setuptools" builds on to allow
Python developers to make Python modules and extensions readily
available to a wider audience.
