SETUPTOOLS_USE_DISTUTILS=stdlib

.. warning::
Please note that this also affects how ``distutils.cfg`` files inside stdlib's ``distutils``
package directory are processed.
Unless ``SETUPTOOLS_USE_DISTUTILS=stdlib``, they will have no effect on the build process.

You can still use a global user config file, ``~/.pydistutils.cfg`` (POSIX) or ``%USERPROFILE%/pydistutils.cfg`` (Windows),
or use the environment variable :doc:`DIST_EXTRA_CONFIG <deprecated/distutils/configfile>` to point to another
supplementary configuration file.


Prefer Setuptools
