The official Python documentation[1] references the Python Packaging Guide[2] which recommends using setuptools instead of distutils. [1] https://docs.python.org/2/distutils/ [2] https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/current/

Also note from setup.py[1] # FIXME: setuptools breaks the --manifest-only option to setup.py and # doesn't seem to generate a MANIFEST file. Since I'm not familiar with # the way setuptools handles the files to include I'm commenting this # for now -- Ralf Schlatterbeck [1] http://sourceforge.net/p/roundup/code/ci/7cfd30cc/tree/setup.py
