I'll go one step further and suggest that not only should setuptools be included in the stdlib but that distutils should be deprecated, at least as a user-visible package. I've not looked at the setuptools code, but I have tried at times to use the distutils code. Those were trying times. I've also seen some of the rapid acceptance of setuptools in the broader Python community. Maybe they know something we don't.
Thank you Phillip...
