Not sure if we are using the same terms, but yes, cx_Freeze inherits from the standard distutils. It simply adds the ability to freeze an executable (build_exe) and tweaks the bdist_msi, bdist_rpm and install commands to handle those frozen executables. So, provided the tweaks don't override what you were expecting from the standard distutils you should be okay.
