New submission from Elmir : 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-extension... ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 407896 nosy: docs@python, elmjag priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: [doc] replace 'distutils' examples with 'setuptools' type: enhancement versions: Python 3.10, Python 3.11 _______________________________________ Python tracker https://bugs.python.org/issue46005 _______________________________________
