New and Changed ``setup()`` Keywords
====================================
This document tracks historical differences between ``setuptools`` and
``distutils``.
Since ``distutils`` was scheduled for removal from the standard library in
Python 3.12, and ``setuptools`` started its adoption, these differences became less
relevant.
Please check :doc:`/references/keywords` for a complete list of keyword
arguments that can be passed to the ``setuptools.setup()`` function and
a their full description.
