Hello,

In the Distutils2 project, we'll have quite a few scripts that can be called via -m $ python -m distutils2.depgraph : shows a dependency graph $ python -m distutils2.install : installs a project $ python -m distutils2.run command : runs a distutils2 command etc.. What happened to "python setup.py action"?  Or is this a step towards not requiring setup.py at all?

Yes, setup.py is gone and everything is driven by scripts, that read setup.cfg. There are some configurable hooks to call code when wanted bu the idea is that those are restricted to the build part of the process, so a release made at PyPI provides static metadata.
