New issue 766: Use setuptools, not distutils
https://bitbucket.org/pytest-dev/pytest/issue/766/use-setuptools-not-distutils

Thomas Güttler:

It is very confusing for developers new to python if
they read "you can use distutils or setuptools ...."

https://pytest.org/latest/goodpractises.html#integrating-with-distutils-python-setup-py-test

The future is setuptools.

I think the best way for today: In the docs, just use setuptools. Don't even 
mention distutils, it confuses new users. And experts know what is (or was) 
going on.


First step: Do you agree? 

If yes: next step: who is going to change the docs?
