Edit Question
Title
Body
The Situation I’m trying to port an open-source library to Python 3. ( SymPy , if anyone is wondering.) So, I need to run 2to3 automatically when building for Python 3. To do that, I need to use distribute . Therefore, I need to port the current system, which (according to the doctest) is distutils . The Problem Unfortunately, I’m not sure what’s the difference between these modules— distutils , distribute , setuptools . The documentation is sketchy as best, as they all seem to be a fork of one another, intended to be compatible in most circumstances (but actually, not all)…and so on, and so forth. The Question Could someone explain the differences? What am I supposed to use? What is the most modern solution? (As an aside, I’d also appreciate some guide on porting to Distribute , but that’s a tad beyond the scope of the question…)
