Aye, that's the most comprehensive toolkit for packaging related tasks, since it covers many of the never-actually-standardised pieces that were defined by the distutils and setuptools implementations. I've filed https://github.com/python/peps/issues/998 to note that we should clean up that old "Implementation Details" section in PEP 376 to better match what actually happened.
