[docs] [issue43804] "Building C and C++ Extensions on Windows" docs are very out-of-date

Shreyan Avigyan <shreyan.avigyan@gmail.com> added the comment: Both https://docs.python.org/3/extending/windows.html#building-on-windows and https://docs.python.org/3/extending/building.html recommends using distutils. As mentioned in PEP 632 distutils will soon be deprecated. I think it'll be a good idea to change the docs to recommend using setuptools and also change the source code for setup.py to use setuptools instead of distutils. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue43804> _______________________________________
