[New-bugs-announce] [issue46005] [doc] replace 'distutils' examples with 'setuptools'

[Elmir]

New submission from Elmir <elmir.jagudin at maxiv.lu.se>:

As the distutils have been deprecated, the documentation on building C/C++ extension modules should be updated to use more future proof tool.

I guess the section:

'Building C and C++ Extensions with distutils'

should be replaced with:

'Building C and C++ Extensions with setuptools'

Here is link to the section that needs to be updated/replaced:

https://docs.python.org/3/extending/building.html#building-c-and-c-extensions-with-distutils
